Chapter 81: Depreciation
In the whole Dongsheng Town, because of the arrival of Ji Rongjin and the King of Liaodong in the past year, the living standards of the residents have improved a lot, and the food and ingredients prepared can be rich to survive the whole cold winter.
Ji Rongjin was lying on the hot floor, with his feet crossed and snorting pine nuts, the small day was not too comfortable! I couldn't help but hum a song.
Yan Tao went back to the bedroom, passed by the east second room, heard the small music inside, stopped in front of the window, through the hazy window, although he couldn't see the figure clearly, but the vague shadow could still see a little.
He didn't pay attention to the shadows, and the heat coming through the window attracted him.
"Kangtai, call the door."
"Ah...... "It's not good to call a little lady's door at night, since she refuses to be His Royal Highness's woman, she has to be a cook girl, and His Royal Highness won't do anything to a girl!"
With a wink, Kang Tai was frightened, and hurriedly raised his hand to knock on the door, "Ji Niangzi...... Ji Niangzi ......"
The humming stopped, Ji Rongjin put down his cocked legs and sat up, propped one hand on the floor, and looked at the closed door in wonder, during this time she was so busy that she went out early and returned late, and she didn't even cook for Yan Tao a few times, although she lived under the same roof, she didn't even take a few face-to-face photos, similar to the modern young man who lived together in order to save rent, and they were not familiar with each other and didn't bother, what should they do.
What is Yan Tao looking for her? Didn't eat dinner and let her go to the kitchen to get dinner?
"Steward Kang, what's the matter?"
He didn't know what was going on, so Kang Tai quietly glanced at his master.
The lanterns under the porch glowed dimly and dimly, and the long corridor was covered with a whole tarpaulin, blocking the sweeping north wind, and although it was not as cold as outside, it was still cold compared to the inside of the charcoal house.
Yan Tao stood with his hands in his hands, majestic and cold.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Your Highness has something to find Ji Niangzi, and ask Ji Niangzi to open the door." ”
Not making dinner? Ji Rongjin got up, "Please wait, Steward Kang, I'll put on my coat." ”
She moved quickly, and after a while, she reached out and opened the door, and when the person came out, she was about to close the door to prevent the cold from entering the room, that thought, Yan Tao stretched out her hand to push the door.
Hands and hands meet on the doorknob.
The man's palms were warm, and the knuckles were slightly cool, and at the moment of contact, Ji Rongjin actually distinguished the different temperatures of each part of his hand, which was really alive, and when he realized something, he retracted his hand suddenly.
"Your Highness, what do you ...... want to do?" I won't rob her of her warm room! was so frightened that his apricot eyes widened.
Yan Tao wore a dark ink-colored brocade robe today, draped in a crane, standing in the night, his body was already covered with cold, glanced at her lightly, and raised his feet into the room.
Afraid that he would step on the dirty sleeping place, he hurriedly followed up and closed the door.
"......" Kangtai blinked, what is the situation?
Ji Rongjin hurriedly bent down and took off his slippers at the door, "Your Highness......" looked at his feet weakly, and a pair of black boots stepped on her clean floor.
Yan Tao didn't notice the little lady's resentful gaze, he was looking for a carbon brazier, and he didn't see it after looking through the whole room, where did the heat of the room come from?
A pair of puzzled eyes met the little lady.
Ji Rongjin stretched out his hand and pointed at his feet, "Your Highness, either please take off your boots and sit down for a cup of tea, or if you have anything you want to ask, please stand at the door and ask, okay?" ”
Yan Tao lowered his eyes and glanced at her feet in cloth socks, delicate and delicate, coughed almost invisibly, and walked to the door, Ji Rongjin thought he was going out, and was about to reach out to open the door, he bent down and took off his boots.
"......" He didn't hear that she was chasing people? Ji Rongjin was close to the beat, resigned himself to pulling the small coffee table, placing it in the middle of the room, and then opened the emergency heating closet to prevent the heating from not heating.
There is a small stove inside, on which there is a kettle, the vent of the stove is sealed and only a crack is left to ensure that the carbon fire inside is only hot and not burning, this temperature is equivalent to keeping the kettle warm, and there is boiling water to drink anytime and anywhere.
Such a small stove is not as big as a charcoal brazier in his room, which can make the room warm like spring?
Ji Rongjin raised his eyes, "Your Highness, please use tea." ”
In the middle of the night, I invited a man to drink tea in the room, and it is estimated that there is no one else except her Ji Rongjin.
Yan Tao glanced at her, sat down in front of the small coffee table, picked up the teacup, and really drank it, the slender white knuckles looked even better in the yellow light of the room.
Ji Rongjin retracted his gaze, sat down opposite him, thought about it and moved to the side, she is nothing, but the ancients are exquisite, she is a civilian woman, she still don't want to make a mistake, I don't know how to lose my life.
Yan Tao drank tea slowly.
Ji Rongjin was patient.
In the simple and humble room, Yan Tao's noble spirit has not diminished at all, but it has strangely blended into this ordinary, and in the same room with the little lady opposite, there is a sense of naturalness that should be so.
Suddenly, he raised his eyes and asked, "Busy lately?" ”
No matter how busy you are, the king of Liaodong is not busy! Of course, Ji Rongjin didn't dare to say this, and smirked: "It's okay to work hard for two taels of broken silver!" ”
She heard someone's snort, and she didn't feel weak, and her little face smiled like a flower.
Can you not smile like a flower? The money in the treasury is all surnamed Yan!
Yan Tao put down the teacup, "Last time you proposed the military soldier Tuntian?" ”
How long has it been? Just coming to her now? Ji Rongjin's face almost collapsed, it was very fake, "Proposal? How did I not know? "Play dumb.
Yan Tao's eyebrows moved, "In the future, lunch and dinner will ...... every day"
"Wait a minute, Your Highness!" In order not to be a little chef, someone thinks she can still make a living.
Yan Tao pushed over the empty cup, Ji Rongjin immediately poured it on the dog's legs, and even put some honeysuckle, "Your Highness, please-" The cup was pushed in front of him.
He didn't take the cup, and his eyes were starry.
What else could Ji Rongjin do, and asked rhetorically: "Tian Dutun is ready, what His Highness wants to ask should be something else!" ”
"And what do you think I want to ask?" Yan Tao picked up the teacup and looked at the little lady for a long time.
The fox, the cunning fox, was afraid that she would make a condition, if it weren't for him, Ji Rongjin's big eyes would have rolled to the roof, and he deliberately looked lamentable: "Your Highness, shouldn't you be worried about how the more than 30,000 soldiers will survive the winter?" ”
He lowered his eyes and blew the honeysuckle floating on the tea, calmly and indifferently.
Ji Rongjin was angry when he saw that he was holding authority and calming down, why did her idea come out in vain.
"Huh?" He raised his eyes, and the tail note rose, with a little drunken tone, and suddenly it was very demagogic.
It's tea that's drinking, okay?
Ji Rongjin's ears were hot, and he coughed clearly, like a sour gentleman: "Your Highness, didn't I say you, don't just think about how to keep 35,000 people all day long, don't you want 35,000 people to become 50,000, or even 100,000?" ”
"Oh, what is the opinion of the Ji Dong family?" Yan Tao's eyes lit up, and he returned to normal in an instant, cooperating with the little lady opposite, as if he was asking the great Confucian for teaching.
"Of course it'......" Ji Rongjin coughed, "I suddenly felt thirsty." His gaze swept over the empty cups on the coffee table, intentionally or unintentionally.
Yan Tao knew well about the little tricks of a certain little lady, and while reaching out for a cup and a hot water kettle, she looked at her smiling expression, "It's time for Ji Dongjia to be really thirsty." ”
The little lady deliberately raised her chin slightly arrogantly: "Is Your Highness willing to pour a cup for the people's daughter!" ”
If you can't make any gains, it will be a little relieved to summon the noble King of Liaodong.
