Chang Xi threw the riding whip to Hu Niu and reached out to touch the mane of the little mare. The horse was docile and stretched out its tongue to lick the palm of her hand. She smiled and said, "It has been wronged by it in the past few days.
I haven't found any good fodder, so take it down and feed it a good meal."
Hu Niu happily replied, "Okay."
She grew up with her adoptive father, Ma Da, and she has the best relationship with Ma'er. These good friends who can't talk are better than most of her kind.
Chang Xi then strolled towards Xie Jin with her hands behind her back. She didn't ask him if he was waiting for her or anything like that, but instead extended an invitation, "Master Xie Jiu, would you like a cup of...tea?"
She almost said she was drunk, but fortunately she remembered that Zhu had just died and she had to put on a show, otherwise she might not be able to maintain her character.
Xie Jin Ding looked at her for a while, but he didn't see any emotion on her face, but he felt her emotions fluctuate slightly, so he nodded, "Go to the explosive cloth at the back."
"Okay." She agreed readily. In summer, places near water are cooler, which can help drive away the dryness in her heart.
Xie Jin didn't say anything more and took the lead in walking forward.
Chang Xi followed and walked side by side with him under the starry night.
On the boulder in front of the explosion, the servants had already laid out the tea sets and cushions. Two wind lamps were lit next to them. Under the dim light, Xie Jin stretched out his slender fingers to play with the tea sets rhythmically, and then started to make the tea smoothly.
Tea, elegant movements, quite ornamental.
Chang Xi sat on the cushion opposite him, watching him meticulously making tea, and couldn't help but smile, "I am the first to drink tea brewed by Mr. Jie Jiu himself. I am truly lucky."
Xie Jin glanced at her and said nothing, but placed a cup of brewed tea in front of her.
This man was quite sensible. He didn't ask her about Zhu's funeral arrangements, nor did he say any nonsense condolences. Instead, he sat silently with her under the starry sky and sipped tea, so she calmly stopped talking to him in a weird way.
.
She has met too many top performers in the past few days, and it always reminds her of those people and things in her previous life. People like Xie Jin are much more comfortable to get along with, at least they will not do things that make people speechless.
"Master Xie Jiu, you are quite a nice person. It would be better if you could talk more."
Hearing her comments, Xie Jin was a little bit dumbfounded. The woman opened her mouth and found nothing nice to say, "Do you like people who talk a lot? How about I ask someone to hire a storyteller for you, and I guarantee that I can talk all day and all night without stopping."
"
Chang Xi hurriedly waved her hands, "No, I don't want my ears to get calluses."
Seeing her refusal, Xie Jin couldn't help but smile. What else would she be afraid of? It was really unexpected.
The two of them drank tea quietly for a while, and he just said casually, "I thought you would first learn about the process of the tea brick workshop as soon as you come back..."
"Stop it, I don't want to talk about business tonight." Chang Xi made a cross gesture, "You must have fun in time while you are alive."
There is never any work to be done, so don't talk about work when you are enjoying life. This was her attitude towards life in her previous life.
It's rare to have a positive attitude like hers, so she still doesn't understand why this time travel happened. It's just that you can't look back on the past, and it's useless to think about it too much. It's better to take more sips of tea.
Xie Jin was stunned for a moment. He thought she was thinking about her business all the time, but he didn't know that she was much more chic than him. Or he could occasionally imitate her, temporarily put down the visible or invisible shackles, and enjoy
The joy that life brings.
"You're right, I'm in trouble." After saying that, he raised the teacup towards her as an apology.
Chang Xi smiled and waved his hand, why did he need to apologize?
The stars are twinkling in the sky and the evening wind is blowing across my face. The night is beautiful tonight.
The next day, when Chang Xi woke up again, she realized that she had returned to the room without knowing when?
She hurriedly sat up. For a while, she couldn't remember what happened last night. She just felt a little dizzy and stuffy. She squinted her eyes. Could it be that she was drunk from tea?
It's over, it's going to be a big embarrassment.
Xiao Tao outside heard the noise in the inner room and knew that Chang Xi was awake. She hurriedly opened the curtain and came in, "Ms. Chang, are you awake? Yesterday, when Master Jiu brought you back, you scared me to death."
As soon as she saw Xiao Tao, Chang Xi's sanity returned. When she heard that it was Xie Jin who carried her back, she suddenly became darkened. She was embarrassed and was thrown into her grandma's house.
There is no need to ask Xiaotao in detail now, she also knows that she must have been drunk on tea last night.
It's a pity that Xiao Tao, who has always been considerate, is not the roundworm in her stomach now, and keeps saying, "Master Jiu said that you drank tea on an empty stomach last night and developed some symptoms of tea drunkenness. He asked the doctor who came over to feed you
He took the medicine and stayed with you until your body recovered, and then he left. Before leaving, he also told me to take good care of you..."
Chang Xi glanced at Xiao Tao several times. Xiao Tao, who had always had a close connection with her, actually didn't receive any signals at this moment. She was still chattering non-stop. In the end, she became numb and could only keep a straight face.
He opened his face and listened to the little girl chanting sutras.
She knew that she wanted to say good things for Jie Jin, but she didn't want to face the dark history. When she thought that she might have convulsed and vomited last night, she felt that her whole body was not good. Although she was not a little fairy,
But she is a cold and domineering boss, how could she do something so damaging to her image?
It wasn't until she felt that she had been talking to herself that Xiao Tao realized how quiet Mrs. Chang was. She quickly looked at Chang Xi, and saw Chang Xi looking at her calmly. Maybe she had been following Chang Xi for a while.
Well, she actually captured some of Chang Xi's mood at the moment.
So, she hurriedly said, "Ms. Chang, last night, Master Jiu said that you fell asleep while drinking tea. He was afraid that something would happen to you, so he called the doctor to take a look. The doctor said that there was nothing serious, just a minor injury.
The symptoms of drunken tea can be cured after drinking medicine and sleeping. They also said that you are like this because you are overworked."
Chang Xi believed Xiaotao's words 80% because she had not slept well at all during the past few days to attend Zhu's funeral. Moreover, she could not sleep peacefully in the Xu family because there were too many bad memories of her original body.
When she stayed in that environment, she would always think of these things unconsciously. She knew that this was because the environment affected her state of mind.
In the future, when Xu Dalang follows in the footsteps of his mother Zhu, she will definitely not compete with the head of the Xu family for this house. She is really uncomfortable living there. Both she and this body need a brand new environment.
.
At this moment, Zhou Nan's voice came from outside, "Miss Xiao Tao, is Mrs. Chang awake?"
Xiao Tao hurriedly turned around and opened the curtain and went out, "Wake up."
Zhou Nan saw Chang Xi getting out of bed and walking around when the curtain fell, and then he believed Xiao Tao's words, so he said, "Our master is outside, he is worried about Mrs. Chang..."
"Xiao Tao, please invite Mr. Jie Jiu to sit in the flower hall. I will come in a moment."
When Xiaotao heard this, she hurriedly responded, and then hurried out to meet Jie Jin. After finishing all these things, she hurried back to wait on Chang Xi to wash up.
"It's time to call Sister Dongli." She felt like she was as busy as a spinning top.
Chang Xi put some simple hairpins in the mirror, knowing that Xiaotao was busy with too many things now and really couldn't care about her, so she said, "Call Hu Niu."
"She? Not so good, Huniu looks a bit..." Xiao Tao couldn't say the word, but as a personal maid, Huniu was not qualified.
"When did you learn to judge people by their appearance?" Chang Xi joked to Xiao Tao with a smile. In fact, Xiao Tao had no malicious intent, but she just had some deep-rooted ideas, and this change must take time.
Xiaotao was teased and immediately retorted, "Ms. Chang, this is an unjust accusation. How can I blame Hu Niu for not being good-looking? But if she is with you, she will inevitably be judged. I'm afraid that girl is too thin-skinned to bear it.
live."
Even while staying in the stable, people in the house kept talking about Huniu's ugly appearance and the unfathomable evil in people's hearts.
Hearing this, Chang Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiaotao. Xiaotao's progress is really getting faster day by day. She actually learned to think from others' perspective. It's really rare. At least many women in this era can't do it. After all, their thinking is limited.
.
"Xiao Tao, I misunderstood you, and I apologize to you."
Xiao Tao smiled and said, "Ms. Chang, you are serious."
"Let's go and ask Huniu if she is willing to come over. If she is not willing, you can directly borrow someone from Manager Jin." Chang Xi thought about it and still respected Huniu's choice. Besides, it was just to take care of her daily life.
To do such things, you only need to be diligent and strict with your mouth. A normal person can do it.
Xiaotao responded and then waited for Chang Xi to go out.
Chang Xi went to the flower hall next to her and saw Xie Jin sitting at the table waiting for her. There were a lot of meals on the table. She looked at them and saw that they were all good food. They were obviously made by Xie Jin's orders.
.
Xie Jin raised his eyes to look at Chang Xi and saw that although her complexion was a little pale, she was still in good spirits. Then he felt relieved and said, "Let's use some padding to cushion the stomach first."
Chang Xi put away her slightly complicated eyes. She had experienced such concern in her previous life, but it was mostly done by people who wanted to curry favor with her. How much of it was sincere was open to question, but the current Jie Jin was different.
She was a little flattered by the sudden concern from such a person.
Seemingly seeing Chang Xi's hesitation, Xie Jin said softly, "Don't worry, I have no other intentions..."
"Master Xie Jiu misunderstood, and I didn't mean anything else." Chang Xi smiled, "I made a fool of myself yesterday, which made Master Xie Jiu laugh. I haven't thanked you yet, otherwise I'm afraid I'd be evil
Too much luck."
Drunken tea is not a joke. In serious cases, it can kill people, so her gratitude at this moment is also sincere.
Xie Jin said lightly, "It's not worth anything. Mrs. Chang doesn't need to keep it in her heart."
He didn't say that when she was drunk and excited last night, she actually pulled him and said she wanted to dance under the stars. Her hands were warm and moist at that time, and he was actually pulled by her to dance for a long time, until her body suddenly twitched and collapsed.
In his arms, he realized something was wrong with her. No wonder she wasn't like her usual self at all.
He hurriedly picked her up and asked Dr. Shen, who was accompanying him, to come over for emergency treatment.
Dr. Shen once served in the Imperial Hospital and was a serious imperial physician. His medical skills were quite superb and reliable. After giving her acupuncture, her convulsions stopped, and then he prescribed prescriptions and boiled medicine.
She was busy until midnight before she fell asleep peacefully.
