When Zhao Mingxuan arrived at Ji Xiaoduo's courtyard, Ji Xiaoduo was learning from Lu Erniang.

Ji Xiaoduo has already sent the first ten episodes of "Dream of Red Mansions" to a bookstore.

The bookstore owner thought the story was quite fresh, but he was not particularly optimistic.

After all, for the literati, the writing of this manuscript is really straightforward and vulgar, but for ordinary people...... Hehe, ordinary people are illiterate at all, how can they buy books?

So I took it, but I only gave her ten taels, and after that...... It depends on how well it sells.

Ji Xiaoduo doesn't care, it's still the same sentence, if the bookstore really doesn't want it, then she will sell it to the storyteller. If it sells well, she will increase the price in the future.

But it is precisely because of this that she is idle again, so she learned some needlework from Lu Erniang.

In these years, female popularity is the duty of women. It is a big family with embroidery girls, and the little ladies also have to learn, and they must always be able to make a handkerchief purse close-fitting clothes or something in the future. As for ordinary people, natural clothes, shoes and socks are made by themselves.

Although there are ready-to-wear shops on the street, the size is not so suitable, and the colors and styles may not all be agreeable.

Ji Xiaoduo didn't want to save this money, but what if one day she and Mo Li fled to some deep mountains and old forests, and couldn't buy it in the poor countryside?

She didn't expect to be able to embroider anything, she just had to learn how to turn cloth into clothes.

At this time, it was still early, the two sat on the edge of the small table in the courtyard, Ji Xiaoduo sewed with needles and threads, and Lu Erniang pointed beside them, learning and teaching carefully, and the atmosphere was harmonious and warm.

Zhao Mingxuan stood there and watched, and he was reluctant to interrupt for a while.

Or did Ji Xiaoduo see him when he stood up and moved his shoulders and neck, and said, "Huh", "You're back?"

Zhao Mingxuan couldn't describe his mood when he heard this sentence for a while.

At that moment, he even understood what Ji Xiaoduo said before, "The one who marries is also the family".

When he was young, although the family had declined, the shelf was still there, the rules were strict, and he had hardly seen his parents alone with each other.

Later, he became a parent, the order of his parents, the words of the matchmaker, he had never met Lu before marriage, and naturally he couldn't talk about any feelings, Lu was gentle and obedient in front of him, everything was based on him, he didn't dare to speak loudly, and he didn't feel anything wrong.

Isn't that true of all husbands and wives in the world?

It's just that for him, there doesn't seem to be much difference between going home and being in the barracks.

He might have preferred to be in the barracks.

But at this time......

Seeing Ji Xiaoduo doing his own thing at home, and when he saw him, he asked casually, Zhao Mingxuan suddenly really had a feeling of going home.

His heart was soft, and he couldn't help but smile and respond gently: "Well, I'm back." ”

As soon as Ji Xiaoduo saw his rippling smile, he knew that this man must have misunderstood, so he added: "I heard Master Xu say that you are not in the state city. ”

The smile on Zhao Mingxuan's face suddenly froze.

Is this "back" to be said?

This woman is really ......

Zhao Mingxuan grinded his teeth, didn't bother to say hello, and said directly: "I already know about someone breaking in that day." ”

"Oh. Ji Xiaoduo said without being salty or indifferent, "So Lord Zhao is here to accept the results?"

Zhao Mingxuan frowned, "What are these words?"

Ji Xiaoduo sneered, "Don't you just want to see that I can't live?"

Zhao Mingxuan was so blocked that he couldn't get up in one breath, what kind of medicine did he take just now to feel that this was the feeling of "going home"?

Yes, he thinks she is naïve, ignorant of the heavens and the earth, and ignores the suffering of the world, but he really never thought that she would not be able to live.

He just......

Never mind.

Zhao Mingxuan secretly calmed down, and then said: "This time, you can be regarded as being implicated by me. It was I who moved a little too big to make them jump over the wall in a hurry and make this decision. ”

He didn't say who it was, nor did he say what he had done, but Ji Xiaoduo thought of the recent situation and could vaguely guess a little.

Most likely he went out this time and moved the cake of the local clan, so he thinks that someone kidnapping the Ji family sister and brother is a revenge or threat?

Ji Xiaoduo also frowned, "Are you thinking too much?Are you the kind of person who can threaten with women?"

Zhao Mingxuan didn't reply for a while.

This is what he likes Ji Xiaoduo most and hates her the most.

This kind of intelligence is clear at a glance, but it is too transparent.

He's not really the emotional kind of person. The women around him are even less worth mentioning. In fact, if he really decided what he wanted to do, and the opponent killed Ji Xiaoduo in front of his eyes, he would not retreat half a step.

But she tore it directly in front of him like this, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Zhao Mingxuan coughed lightly, simply skipped this question, and only said: "In short, those people didn't succeed, and there will inevitably be followers." You'd better go back with me now, and live in the Rashi Mansion, so that you can be safe. ”

Of course, Ji Xiaoduo thought that Zhao Mingxuan would take this opportunity to ask her to give up, but his statement didn't seem to be very resolute?

So she tentatively said, "It's better to ...... That is to say, there is a second?"

Her reaction was also expected by Zhao Mingxuan, and he didn't sell it anymore, and said: "The second is that you continue to be bait outside, cooperate with my people, and when they make another move, they will catch it all." ”

Ji Xiaoduo couldn't help but hesitate a little, no matter how you think about it, it is obviously this "second" that is more in line with Zhao Mingxuan's interests and personality, right?

As soon as Zhao Mingxuan saw her expression, he knew that she didn't have good words, so he simply waved his hand to interrupt her, "Just say what you choose!"

Okay, Ji Xiaoduo obediently swallowed back the question and said, "Secondly." ”

Zhao Mingxuan was not surprised.

But still not happy.

How can there be such a woman?

I'd rather be fed and clothed outside, and be scared than accept the protection of men......

Oh, no, she wasn't so embarrassed when the gardener invited her. Looking at the description of the dark guard, it is "gladly going". Zhao Mingxuan could imagine Ji Xiaoduo's eyebrows and smiles.

He couldn't help but clench his fist secretly.

Is he really not even a gardener?

Zhao Mingxuan was unhappy in his heart, and his face was a little gloomy.

Ji Xiaoduo could see it, but she didn't bother to guess the mind of this man who changed his face like a flip book, so she only asked: "Then I will make this bait for you, is it any good?"

Zhao Mingxuan sneered, "You still want benefits?"

"Of course, how dangerous is this? Those two didn't expect Mo Li to be so able to fight that day, so they missed, but they were arrested, and the people behind them would definitely be alert, if they really sent someone again, I was afraid that it would not be so easy to deal with." Ji Xiaoduo said, "I'm really working hard for Lord Zhao." ”

Zhao Mingxuan raised his eyebrows, "You can choose to go back with me." ”

Ji Xiaoduo didn't want to.

She snorted, "Isn't that just delaying Lord Zhao's plan?" I'm still here obediently cooperating with Lord Zhao's work." ”

Zhao Mingxuan snorted, but looked at the old and small yard, and at the pile of small rags that had not been confiscated on the table, he was a little soft-hearted, and asked, "What do you want?"

Ji Xiaoduo said tentatively: "Erase the thousand taels you added before?"

Zhao Mingxuan sneered, "It's so beautiful to think about." ”

Ji Xiaoduo also smiled, "Then you should always give some wages, right?"

"Okay. Zhao Mingxuan deserves to be happy, "Just give it according to Hong Hu's monthly money." ”

Ji Xiaoduo frowned.

Zhao Mingxuan said: "What's the matter? Not satisfied? Hong Hu has to do much more things than you every day, not only before and after the saddle, but also born and dead, people are really desperate." ”

Ji Xiaoduo: ......

Yes, she really can't compare to that. Just staring at her secret guards, they are much harder than her, and they can't let her find out if they sleep in the open.

"How much is the monthly money?" asked Ji Xiaoduo.

Zhao Mingxuan said: "Five taels." ”

In terms of the value of the family, it is really high.

But can this be delayed for a month?

If it's solved in three or five days, how much can she take?

You might as well become a cook. Ji Xiaoduo thought.
