On Xinye Street, there are many merchants.

There was a heavy snowfall just yesterday, and at this time, the rich people are roasting charcoal fires at home, and the common people are wrapped in quilts at home to resist the cold wind.

is a merchant, there are not many people who open today, and the wine store is directly closed to thank customers, which directly makes Zhang Xi, who plans to improve the food, eat a closed door.

What's even worse is that in the entire Xinye County, there is only this one wine restaurant and restaurant, and Zhang Xi can't change restaurants to eat.

Pulling the little Qibao who was shivering a little from the cold, the master and servant went out happily and returned to the inn shivering.

Fortunately, there was still some charcoal left from the charcoal I bought when I burned the glass before, so I lit a charcoal fire in my guest room and roasted it for a while, and finally relieved myself.

It's delicious that you can't eat it, but you have to solve it.

Zhang Xi traveled over a month and a half, of which the previous month was spent in a muddy nightmare, and Zhang Xi didn't know what the reaction of Little Qibao was at that time.

In the past half a month since he woke up, Zhang Xi has always been free to toss around, and all kinds of strange ideas have come up frequently...... What is the reaction of Little Qibao, will he notice that his master has been dropped?!

I'll have to check it out today.

According to Zhang Xi's memory, Xiao Qibao is the son of the Zhang family, that is to say, his family has been servants of the Zhang family for generations, and he has no household registration of his own at all.

Xiao Qibao has followed Zhang Xi since he was a child, taking care of Zhang Xi's diet and daily life, and can be said to be the person who knows Zhang Xi best.

Such a person is the one who is most likely to perceive Zhang Xi's secret.

But the problem is that Zhang Xi really can't take Little Qibao.

On the one hand, it is the relationship between the master and servant in the memory, although sometimes Zhang Xi feels that this is the original owner's business, and it is seen by looking at the marquee, but in fact, after getting along, this master-servant relationship is not fake, even the current Zhang Xi also has an inexplicable sense of dependence on Xiao Qibao.

On the other hand, Xiao Qibao escorted Zhang Xi all the way to Xinye, and his entourage was scattered, but Xiao Qibao still protected Zhang Xi..... This loyalty is really commendable, whether it is from reason or morality, Zhang Xi feels that he can't treat Xiao Qibao badly.

After thinking about it, Zhang Xi felt that the best way to deal with it was to send Qibao back to Yingchuan's own house.

In this way, Shippo is not by his side, and he will not notice the change in himself, and then realize that he has actually changed.

On the other hand, as long as Zhang Xi writes to tell his family about the things that Qibao has followed along the way, he will not worry about reusing Qibao's loyalty to return to Yingchuan in the future.

Faithful people are always treated well in these days.

But the only problem is......

"Doesn't the master want Shippo anymore?! Master, if Shippo does something wrong, Shippo must change it...... Wow......"

That's the problem.

Zhang Xi just mentioned it simply, asking Qibao to send a letter back to his home to report safety, and before he could say the rest of the words, Qibao knelt down on the spot, hugged Zhang Xi's feet and neck and cried.

This Zhang Xi really can't understand...... I just asked you to go back to deliver the letter, and I haven't said anything about letting you stay at home and not come back!

"Shippo, that ...... You get up first?! ”

I don't understand it, I don't understand, I was crying with my feet and neck, and I was crying and grabbing the sky, Zhang Xi really couldn't bear this way of expressing his feelings.

Quickly help Shippo up..... It's also strange and tiring, because Qibao's strength is actually greater than Zhang Xi's.

said that it was Little Qibao, but in fact, he is fifteen years old this year, and in this era, he is already a person who can start a family.

"You're also a man, don't you know if a man has tears?!" Zhang Xi pulled Xiao Qibao up and said to Xiao Qibao half-coaxed and half-threatening, "If you continue to cry like this, I really don't want you anymore!" ”

Little Qibao was so frightened that he sobbed, quickly pulled the tears from his face, and closed his mouth tightly.

Zhang Xi saw that Qibao was quiet, so he put on a smiling face and said to Qibao, "Now, little Qibao..... We've grown up together, right?! ”

Little Qibao nodded obediently.

"You remember the first time you came to see me, I gave you half a piece of caramel...... Is there such a thing?! Zhang Xi continued to say step by step.

The purpose is to reminisce about the past with Little Qibao.

You see, I even have memories of the past, and you can't doubt that your master was taken away, right?!

Hearing this, Xiao Qibao nodded immediately, his head was about to shake out of the afterimage, and he solemnly expressed his determination and said, "The villain still doesn't dare to forget the kindness of his master. ”

No, isn't it just half a piece of maltose, and you can be grateful...... Well, it does seem to be grateful.

The maltose of this year, that is the luxury of luxury, I want Yuan Shu to be defeated back then, I want to drink honey water, no, I want to drink saliva, I don't.

Then Yuan Shu was angry and died.

Yuan Highway, the fourth and third dukes of the Tang family, the son-in-law of the Yuan family, can't eat candy right away...... Zhang Xi gave Xiao Qibao half a piece of caramel back then, of course, it is worth Xiao Qibao to be grateful for so long.

But when you say that, Zhang Xi feels that his next persuasion to return seems to be a little unbearable.

After a slight change of thought, Zhang Xi continued, "So, although you and I are called master and servant, we are actually like brothers...... Didn't I just ask you to go back to Yingchuan Zhangjia to report safety, why do you think I don't want you anymore?! ”

Coax the kid back first, and then talk about it when he gets back.

"This ...... Master ......" Little Qibao hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Master, now Qibao has also separated from the Yingchuan family with the master, according to the family rules, if the master fails to gain a firm foothold outside, Qibao will not be able to enter the gate of the Zhang family." ”

...... And this rule?!

Zhang Xi wondered, but carefully recalled the memories in his mind and found that this was actually true.

At the beginning, the regulations formulated when the family was separated, Zhang Xi led his entourage out to divide the family, and only after gaining a firm foothold in Jingzhou could he be qualified to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and become a house of his own, otherwise, he would die outside, and it would have nothing to do with the Yingchuan family.

It's cruel, but that's how the family survives in this day and age.

Originally, according to the gold and silver brought out by Zhang Xi, plus more than 20 followers, he bought a house and land in Jingzhou, started a family, and developed for a few more years to consolidate it, it can indeed be said that he has gained a firm foothold and returned to his ancestors in Yingchuan...... But now Zhang Xi, penniless, is just a petty official under the command of General Zuo who lives in Xinye, which is really not a family and a stable foothold.

At this time, it seems that it is really possible to send Qibao back, and the Zhang family will not even let Qibao enter the gate.

Now it's troublesome...... You can't kick Shippo out and leave it alone, right?!

I can't get over it morally and conscientiously.

Although Qibao is a child of a family and has no household registration, life and death are indeed all in Zhang Xi's thoughts..... But this not only violates the conscience of modern Zhang Xi, but also the ancient Zhang Xi can't do this.

"In that case..... Then you can follow me first! Zhang Xi said helplessly.

This matter can only be done temporarily, and Zhang Xi warned himself in his heart that he must be careful in the future, and don't do anything to arouse Qibao's suspicions.

is also fortunate that with that month's marquee, Zhang Xi is now at least in words and deeds, there are not too many differences from people of this era, and the previous act of burning glass and making distillers is the reason why he is recovering from a serious illness and his brain is not very clear.

Little Qibao didn't think about it that much, and he wouldn't think about it that much.

Zhang Xi still doesn't know much about the relationship between master and servant in this era.

In the eyes of people in this era, Qibao is a property of Zhang Xi, Zhang Xi is prosperous, Qibao naturally has a good life, even if Zhang Xi is down, Qibao dares to have a different heart, that is, it is the devouring master, which is not tolerated by the world.

Therefore, it is impossible for Qibao to suspect anything about Zhang Xi, even if he notices that Zhang Xi is not the same as his previous master, Qibao will rationalize himself and think that Zhang Xi has been granted "Heavenly Divine Authority", if Zhang Xi shouts "The sky is dead", Qibao will also have to wave the flag and shout "Yellow Sky should stand".

Zhang Xi is the only one who is suspicious and suspicious, and he always holds it in front of Qibao.

But it didn't last a night, because early the next morning, Wei Yan led a team of people to welcome Zhang Xi to take office.
