"The meat is cold, go and pour in the remaining water and heat it up." She couldn't find anything to say, so she simply found work for him.
Li Jinchuan responded to her request, poured water to scald the meat for her, washed it piece by piece, and even picked out the peppercorns.
Li Anxin no longer gave Li Jinchuan a chance to speak, lest he would tease her overtly or covertly.
While she was eating, she asked him about his work progress in Lou County, acting like an elder.
"It didn't go well."
"How to say?"
"At the feet of the Emperor, Zhima Guan is also a person, and he cannot afford to offend him anywhere," he said.
Li Anxin put a piece of meat into his mouth and said, "If you need to offend many people to accomplish what you want to do, it proves that you have a big problem."
Li Jinchuan: "I would like to hear the details."
Li Anxin said: "Going against the current is naturally laborious. It is wise to go with the flow and use your strength to gain strength."
"If you follow the trend, you may be complicit."
"Two rivers converge, one black and one white, and they can still coexist. You go your own way and care about what happens on other people's single-plank bridges?"
Li Jinchuan paused, suddenly smiled, and turned to look at her, "If my aunt becomes an official, I won't dare to meet you."
Li Anxin snorted softly.
She thought to herself, you are more courageous than you said, why don't you dare.
She pretended to pick up other dishes.
Li Jinchuan held it closer.
After a while, Li Anxin managed to eat half full. The food was cold, and she began to dislike it after she was no longer hungry.
Li Jinchuan put away his things and turned to ask her, "Are you going back to sleep?"
sleep?
Li Anxin thought about the people in that room and hesitated for a moment.
"Or you can sleep here and I'll make the fire brighter," Li Jinchuan suggested.
Li Anxin looked around and nodded lightly.
It was late at night, the rain outside finally stopped, and all kinds of insects began to chirp again.
Li Anxin was also sleepy, fell on the mat and barely closed his eyes.
With Li Jinchuan here, she actually felt reassured. Although this guy was a little confused, he would not act recklessly.
and……
She opened her eyes and looked at the figure squatting by the fire, playing with the firewood.
It seems that he has grown up.
Just as he was thinking about it, a cough came.
She frowned and asked, "I'll give you the clothes."
He turned his head and glanced at her, walked closer with a smile, sat on the end of the cushion, and said, "No, I can just give you this little spot. There's a fire, and it's not cold."
Hey, tough talk.
Sure enough, he is a mature man.
Only men can be so hypocritical. They have the most backbone in every part of their body and mouth.
Li Anxin turned over, turned her back to him, closed her eyes, and slept.
Li Jinchuan looked at her movements, raised the corner of his mouth, and his eyes fell on her ankle, seeing her foot without socks.
He didn't say anything, and waited until she was really sleepy before he got up and took her washed sock to roast on the fire.
Li Anxin vaguely heard the movements, and not long after, he felt that his feet were wrapped in warmth and the coolness was much less.
She seemed to hear him sigh.
In her sleep, she also took a deep breath, feeling sad for some reason.
…
Li Jinchuan just squinted for half a night, there was a brazier burning in the room. Although the door was not that tight, he did not dare to take risks and kept staring.
At three or four o'clock, he opened his eyes, and Li Anxin had turned around, with his hands on his face. His face was not as cold as it was during the day, and he looked at Rourou obediently.
He reached over and tested the temperature on her hands and face, and then quietly got up after making sure that there was no problem.
Opening the door, I happened to meet a little girl.
