The spring rain should have been thin and continuous, but the sky outside the window suddenly darkened a little, and after a few thunderous thunders, the sound of dense stones falling to the ground came to Situ Xi's ears, and the continuous raindrops showed traces in the white flash, and the rainstorm suddenly came.

Fortunately, Situ Xi picked up the scattered wisps of green silk in the courtyard before the sky changed, so as to prevent them from being muddy in the mud and dust on the ground of the small courtyard.

Lying on the bed, Situ Xi had nothing to do, whispering and boiling water, and Zhong Lisu was also cooking on the fire in the firewood room.

In ancient times, marriage paid attention to the right family, Zhong Lisu was the concubine of the Ming Duke of Chu State, her mother died early, she was treated coldly at home, and she was not often out of the house in the deep boudoir, and the last time she went out was her wedding.

Chu and Zhao were friendly at that time, Situ Xi came to Chu as a proton, and the Chu Emperor personally assigned him a marriage, Zhong Lisu was the object of his marriage, and their latest food and clothing were also paid by the Huaiming Mansion, which was also his only source of income.

"It's a perfect match." Although Situ Xi didn't know what the situation was in Zhaoguo before, he could be sent as a proton, and the servants who accompanied him a few days ago were killed and dismissed and no one cared about him.

In the morning, Zhongli cut his hair short is also easy to say.

The third lady of the Duke of Huaiming, that is, Zhong Lisu's third aunt, came to the house yesterday to look for her, hoping that Zhong Lisu would agree to remarry the son of the Duke of Chu Guolu, or go to meet the son of the Duke of Chu no matter how bad it is.

The third lady said a lot to Zhong Lishu, but it was nothing more than to say bad things about Situ Xi, and then discuss how good the princess of that country has.

Immediately followed by the scene that Situ Xi saw Zhongli breaking off his invention aspirations, or cutting his hair and narrating.

According to her: hair is love, she has left all her lifelong love in this courtyard, and she will definitely not agree to the third aunt's request.

For the people of this era, breaking hair is not an easy thing, in addition to being unfilial, it will also be looked down upon by others, and for the aristocracy, face is already something that can be compared with their lives.

This girl is very stupid, a little silly, Situ Xi thought secretly.

Regarding the remarriage of the third lady, Situ Xi felt that something was wrong when he heard it, his marriage contract was personally ordered by the Chu Emperor, if he wanted to divorce or remarry, it should also be an edict from the Chu Emperor, or Huai Ming Gong personally came to the door to discuss, how could it be the turn of the third lady's side room to be the master, you must know that in terms of identity, the status of the concubine is even lower than that of Zhong Lisu, a concubine.

Moreover, she didn't make the decision directly, but came to discuss with Zhong Lisu, and said the words "at least meet each other".

I am afraid that this remarriage is her own idea, or she is instructed by others.

Zhong Lixuan shouldn't have thought about it so much, she has just gotten married, and her husband is an autistic young man, and she is eager to protect the honor of her husband and wife.

And his situation should not be as bad as he thought, as a proton, the treatment he received must be closely related to the relationship between the two countries, and if you look at the surrounding conditions now, you can know that Chu and Zhao should be very stiff now.

But Zhong Lixuan said that according to Huai'an Gong's explanation, an imperial doctor would come to see Situ Xi in the middle of every month to ensure that he was in good health.

In other words, for Emperor Chu, he can't die yet.

Whispered and picked up some descriptions of his proton from outside and told Situ Xi.

The predecessor was hoarse, a little stupid, and his personality was relatively weak, I was afraid that I couldn't notice the twists and turns, and I put up with it if I was bullied, but I retreated step by step, step by step, and now I have fallen into such a dilemma.

Of course, this is just my own conjecture, and the inside story can only be known slowly in the future, but everything comes by overcoming obstacles, rather than trying to think about it, it is better to live every minute.

Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps by the wall, Situ Xi glanced at a few raindrops dripping down the wall on the left, put on his shoes and socks and walked to the door to open the door.

Whispering and Zhong Lishu came at the same time.

Putting the plate with chopsticks in his hand on the table, Zhong Li patted his undulating chest, sighed that the food was lucky to have escaped the rain, whispered that he carefully held the kettle full of boiling water in both hands, and moved very slowly, and after adding two cups of hot water for the two of them, she took a wooden basin and placed it in the corner of the room to catch the raindrops that leaked in.

"Xianggong, let's fill my stomach first." Zhong Lixuan placed the dishes and chopsticks in front of the three of them.

Situ Xi didn't know if the children of the nobles here all knew how to cook, but the three dishes in front of him were really good.

The bowls of the three people on the table in front of him were filled with rice, and in the middle were two plates and a wooden pot, respectively, a pot of chicken soup, a stack of leeks, and a plate of wild vegetables that Situ Xi could not name.

People live on food, and it seems that their families have not yet reached the point where they can't afford to eat.

"How?" Zhong Li stared at Situ Xi's eyes with some apprehension, as if he wanted to know whether his dish was delicious from his expression, and waited in a whisper, her master didn't move, she didn't dare to go over.

"It's delicious." Situ Xi was very hungry, and everything he ate when he was hungry was fragrant.

Looking at his satisfied expression as if he had eaten eight treasures and jade food, Zhongli secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and he also picked up a little spring leek and put it in his mouth.

"Yikes!" Who knew that she had just chewed it, and immediately exclaimed with a bitter face, and actually got up and ran out of the door with her mouth puffed out.

When she came in again, she stuck out her tongue slightly, smiled awkwardly, and sat back in her place with some embarrassment.

"It's a bit hard." Her cheeks were slightly red.

Pungency? Situ Xi also tasted it, yes, this leek seems to be a little undercooked, and it does have a slightly spicy taste.

"Miss loves sweets, and she can't eat a little bitter." Whispering and snickering.

Is this a picky eater? Situ Xi finally found a habit in her that could be regarded as a common habit for noble children, but it was absolutely impossible to call it a bad habit in her, but he felt that this somewhat natural wife in front of him was very cute.

As if to blame her for talking too much, Zhong Lisu widened his eyes and glared at Whisper, Whisper immediately picked up the bowl and chopsticks and buried his head in eating, Zhong Licao stretched out his chopsticks and put a little leek into the bowl, frowned and swallowed it.

These dishes are bought by whispering, although Zhong Lisu knows how to cook, but she should not often bow in person, and now she has changed her short hair, which is inconvenient for travel.

"Miss, I can only blame those market vendors, the slave told them that our aunt is very weak, and he has to make up for it, and they all let the slave buy some spring leeks, saying that they can nourish and benefit Yang."

Situ Xi almost bit his tongue, I just haven't eaten much for a few days, can physical weakness and kidney deficiency be the same thing, don't talk nonsense.

"Xianggong, what's wrong with you, the concubine sees that your face is a little bad, but it's uncomfortable?" Zhong Lixuan suddenly paused when he saw him, and he was a little panicked.

"It's okay, which market did I go to in the whisper, I won't go there anymore." Situ Xi wiped his mouth.

Zhou Hao of the Southern Dynasty once said that "leeks are early in the beginning of spring, and late in autumn", and the leeks in February are indeed okay to eat.

"You may not know it, but this mountain leek is also called 'a bunch of gold.'"

After taking a sip of hot water, Situ Xi suddenly thought of a short story taken from "Qing Yilu".

"A bunch of gold? Why is that? Whisper seemed interested in the gossip, and she asked questions first.

"I heard of a man named Du Yi, who could not do without leeks every time he dined, and when his servants came back from the bazaar, they quietly took out the leeks they had bought and threw them away. When Du Yi found out, he scolded him angrily: 'Slave dog slave dog, can you go to this bunch of gold? ’”

The two listened with great interest, and they were full of interest in these anecdotes.

Looking at Situ Xi, who was talking eloquently, Zhong Lixuan felt that his husband was not as unbearable as the rumors outside.

"In that case, our family can be regarded as rich!" Whispering thought it was very funny, she looked at the plate full of leeks in front of her, and said with a chuckle.

"Whisper!" Hearing this, Zhong Lixuan sank his face, looked at the whisper and snorted softly.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, Zhong Li is afraid that Situ Xi will think too much.

"It's okay, she thinks it's funny." Situ Xi was also slightly stunned at first, but after a little thought, he felt that Zhong Lisu was a little too sensitive, and he motioned for the whisper who was frightened by Zhong Lisu to stand up and sit down with peace of mind, the three of them are now at least nominally one, and he doesn't think that whispering implies that he is deliberately teasing himself.

Besides, you really have to find a way to make some money.

……

Today's life is more embarrassing, which Situ Xi knows very well, but it wasn't until he walked into the courtyard with a small umbrella that he found that the current situation was even worse than he thought.

Said to be a small courtyard, in fact, there is only one room and a firewood room, there is a small open space in front of the door connecting the two rooms, obviously from the window when looking at it still feel spacious, in front of the courtyard a wooden door in disrepair, cobwebs and dust covered with eaves, but at this moment after the heavy rain washing, the door can be drenched in the rain where it looks a little brighter.

It wasn't until the night that Situ Xi knew that Zhong Lisu and Whisper had slept in the firewood room these days, including her wedding night.

After all, the firewood house was small, and looking at the two-layer quilt spread on the thatch on the ground, Situ Xi's heart was sour.

But Zhong Lisu's next words caught him even more off guard.

"If Xianggong's heart is really better, we should have sex together. Although there is no husband and wife now, it is an indisputable fact that you and I are married. ”

He didn't know what kind of mentality Zhong Lixuan had in which he said this, but he was really unprepared.

There is no opinion in the whisper, as it should be, the young lady was driven into the firewood room on the night of the cave, and if outsiders learned about it, they would only become a laughing stock.

But she doesn't blame Situ Xi, her uncle and young lady are poor people.

Now it's okay, my uncle is not wooden, not only is he not dumb, but he is no longer afraid of the two of him, and he is at least a lot better for Miss on the surface, as if he has changed as a person. I even told myself some interesting stories today, which is always good, and I am sincerely happy to whisper.

……

The bed is very wide, but there are only two pillows, there is no shortage of quilts, whispering on the side of the bed to spread another bunk, and the three of them blow the lamp and sleep.

Everything came naturally, as if it were a matter of course.

But this is a fake.

Unlike Whispering, the two lying flat on the bed are both nervous to varying degrees.

Zhong Lixuan tried to relax as much as she could, and she did the same when she said those words in the evening.

Moving further in, Situ Xi leaned his body against the wall to leave enough space.

There was some silence in the room, things were moving too fast, but it was reasonable, just not very reasonable.

Frequently accelerated heartbeat, slightly trembling body, and simple heat transfer could not convey Zhong Lisu's complex feelings at the moment, her eyes were closed, but her eyelashes trembled slightly.

Facing the wall sideways, Situ Xi was also sorting out his mood in the dark.

"You have been wronged."

It was raining heavily outside, and the sound was like a waterfall falling, but the two women in the room heard his words, and they were still very clear.

Whispering didn't speak, just tightened the futon, Zhong Li closed his eyes and whispered:

"It's good if Xianggong can get better, life is really getting better and better, how can you talk about grievances?"

The room was quiet again, the dark roof as starless as the night sky.

The heavy rain really helps with sleep, perhaps because of the contrast between the uniform and loud sound of the rain outside and the silence in the room and the warmth of the bed, and the people inside the house feel more secure.

On the first night of coming to this world in the true sense, Situ Xi lost sleep.
