Chen Xi didn't go to the recruitment platform at all. He was ready to skip work after leaving the Government Affairs Office. As for whether he would be caught by Man Chong who might come back at any time for violating laws and disciplines, Chen Xi had already thought of his excuse - as a county guard, he could be caught at any time.
In order to understand the situation under the rule and to avoid being deceived by others, he planned to investigate the sentiments of the people. This reason is so valid!
After skipping work and going home, Fan Jian was reading a book at home. It was said to be a heirloom with a thousand words. Fan Jian had already read a lot of it, and according to Chen Xi, he didn't ask for a deep understanding, just to have an understanding of it.
"Jian'er, do you want to go out?" Chen Xi pushed open the door and entered, only to see Fan Jian quickly stuffing something under the quilt.
"It hurts!" Fan Jian, who was hiding something, frowned and yelled in a low voice, maybe he accidentally touched something.
"Embroidery?" Chen Xi asked curiously.
"I won't show you." Fan Jian said unhappily, the child's temper was still there.
"You're not good at embroidery? Stretch out your hand." Chen Xi teased.
But then Chen Xi realized that Fan Jian probably accidentally pricked his fingertip with a needle just now.
Pulling Fan Jian's left hand over and taking a look, there are no small spots on the slender, green-white fingers. I guess they were pricked by needle tips when doing embroidery or making things in the past. Come to think of it, it seems like something is missing from Fan Jian's hand.
.
"Let's go, I'll take you and Lan'er out to buy some rouge, gouache and so on. You won't have to worry about hair growing if you stay at home all day." Chen Xi stretched out his hand and pulled Fan Jian up. As for the needles and threads, he threw them aside.
Inside the bamboo basket.
"Are you going out?" Fan Jian, who rarely goes out, has long been accustomed to everything at home, and has no idea of going out. However, if Chen Xi, as her husband, invites her out, she must not refute her husband's face in her mind. She thought
He nodded immediately and said, "I'll allow you to change into some clothes."
"Okay, hurry up, I'll notify Lan'er." Chen Xi glanced at Fan Jian and planned to leave.
After that, Chen Xi went to the backyard to inform Chen Lan that since being expelled from the Chen family, Chen Xi had lifted Chen Lan's slave status. Now she is a free person, but she still lives in Chen Xi's home. In this regard,
Chen Xi didn't say anything, and Fan Jian didn't care if there was one more or less Chen Lan.
Because of this, Chen Lan was actually still doing the same things as before with Chen Xi, of course not dancing, singing or playing the piano, but just taking care of Chen Xi as before.
As for serving tea, pouring water, doing laundry and cooking, old housekeeper Chen left it to the newly bought servants, and Chen Xi usually didn't need anyone else to take care of him, so Chen Lan actually did the same thing as traditional and simple things. There was no way Taishan could do it at that time
There were too many refugees sold into slavery. At that time, it was actually a good thing to buy servants and give the refugees a meal. This helpless society...
Sure enough, when Chen Xi opened the door and walked in, Chen Lan was lazily lying on the bed reading a book.
"Ah!" Chen Lan was obviously stunned when she saw Chen Xi coming in, and then she screamed and turned over to sit up.
"Why are you surprised? Really, little lazy pig, get up. I'll take you and Jian'er out to buy some rouge and gouache. We finally built Fenggao. I haven't had a good walk around yet. I'll take you with me today. Let's talk about what you have."
Whatever you want to buy, I will bring the money in advance." Chen Xi looked at Chen Lan who threw all the books on the ground in a panic and said helplessly.
By the way, if those book lovers saw this, they would probably beat Chen Lan to death. However, Chen Xi clearly had no intention of troubling Chen Lan for such a trivial matter, and his thinking has not been changed so far.
"Master..." Chen Lan kneeled on the bed and whispered.
"What's the matter?" Chen Xi was too lazy to ask Chen Lan to change his title. He liked the name "Master" very much. Although Chen Lan was no longer his singer, Chen Lan would dance for Chen Xi occasionally if needed.
, the fan dances in circles, and it is quite interesting to watch under the misty light. As for Fan Jian, Chen Xi only saw it once when Fan Jian was drunk. It was amazing, but Fan Jian firmly did not allow Chen Xi to mention it.
The thing is, every time Chen Xi opens her mouth, her neck will turn bright red.
"If Madam goes, I shouldn't go." Chen Lan said softly, lowering her head and pinching the corner of the quilt with her hands. It was obvious that she really wanted to go.
"Don't worry, Jian'er is quite dull and has no self-consciousness. As long as you don't bully her, she will be easy to deal with." Chen Xi said nonchalantly. After spending four months with Fan Jian, Chen Xi had figured out this girl's personality.
.
Fan Jian is very well-behaved. Basically, she does whatever Chen Xi asks her to do. At other times, she stays in her boudoir and rarely comes out. Chen Xi firmly believes in the saying that if you stay deep inside, you will naturally be dull, and if you stay there for a long time, you will naturally become cute.
Now it is obvious that Fan Jian has been in her own boudoir for too long, and she feels a little dull.
But that's fine, Chen Xi doesn't worry that Fan Jian will go out of his way to find trouble with Chen Lan. After all, compared to Fan Jian, Chen Lan is the girl who has truly shared weal and woe with Chen Xi. In this case, not everyone should be committed to each other.
What?
Chen Lan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, then invited Chen Xi out of her boudoir to change clothes.
"It's too slow." Chen Xi sat at the stone table outside. Changing clothes was such a waste of time. Chen Xi remembered that he always seemed to just put on one suit. Speaking of who handled his change of clothes, Chen Xi could remember
What he got up for was that there was a new change of clothes placed beside the bed every morning. Well, it was necessary to get up early tomorrow to see who prepared the clothes for him.
Just when Chen Xi was getting bored waiting, Fan Jian led Chen Lan through the moon gate one after another.
She was wearing a plain white blouse, with a woman's hair ornament on her head and a gold hairpin stuck in it. There was a layer of shame on her fair face.
Chen Xi stared at Fan Jian's lips and said that he didn't remember anyone selling lipstick.
"Why are you staring at me? But I'm tired of waiting." Fan Jian looked at Chen Xi curiously and asked.
"It's just strange. Let's go, let me take you shopping. After all, your husband finally built Fenggao City, and he hasn't lived in Fenggao City well until now." Chen Xi shook his head and said, still in front of outsiders.
Be polite and ask again when you have a rest in the evening.
Fan Jian reached out to hold Chen Xi's arm, and then leaned forward, slightly trailing half a body behind Chen Xi. Chen Lan followed behind Chen Xi, looking at Fan Jian with a little envy. In fact, she could do the same thing.
action, and she also knew that Chen Xi would not refuse at all, and would be secretly happy, but now Chen Lan was a little embarrassed.
Walking on the road, Chen Xi felt the soft body next to him, and couldn't help but feel a little restless in his heart. After all, Fan Jian was quite beautiful, and she was his fiancée. In addition, Fan Liang's hint, if it weren't for the fact that Fan Jian was real.
Too young, Chen Xi would have turned into a wolf long ago.
In the first few days, Chen Xi slept in the same bed as Fan Jian, but later found out that this was a complete ordeal. Fan Jian was leaning against Chen Xi completely unconsciously, but Chen Xi couldn't do it, so he had to sleep in separate beds, and proposed to separate beds.
Chen Xi always felt that Fan Jian's eyes were a little strange at that time.
Walking on the street, Chen Xi couldn't help but feel a little proud. The road paved with bluestone and the rows of shops on both sides of the road were completely different from the shabby state a few months ago. At that time, the dirty sewage street was also under Chen Xi's mandatory regulations.
Sexual control has been cleaned up, at least now no one defecates on the street, and when cows and horses are put on the street, whoever gets dirty will be dealt with.
Chen Xi knew very well that there were no good disease prevention and treatment methods in this era. Being cleaner would be safer. Once a plague broke out, Taishan, which had finally recovered with great difficulty, would collapse in an instant. Even if it went too far, the entire city would become a dead zone.
Chen Xi first took two steps in one direction, then stepped back, turned to Fan Jian and asked, "Do you know where the rouge and gouache shop is?" Chen Xi was obviously a little unnatural. He also belonged to the family.
A squatting type, but the difference is that while others stay at home, he stays at the Government Affairs Office.
"I don't know. Wasn't this city built by my husband? Don't you know it yourself?" Fan Jian shook her head, and then asked like a curious baby, "Maybe Lan'er should know, since I came to Mount Tai.
Never left the house."
The looks between Chen Xi and Fan Jian made Chen Lan a little unbearable, and she muttered in a low voice, "I haven't been out either!"
Well, the three guys who had never been out stood at their door and looked at the street. They all sighed, and then Chen Xi laughed.
"Forget it, now you know what this city lacks. I'll ask someone to make a road sign later, and I can make some money along the way. Let's go and ask for directions." Chen Xi said helplessly, and he didn't
It occurred to me that none of the three of them knew the way, they were all squatting at home.
Thinking about it, Chen Xi spends every day in the Government Affairs Office, while Fan Jian has never left the house since he was a child. As for Chen Lan, who was originally a singer who was raised at home, she naturally doesn't go out and is alone at home.
After staying for a long time, I no longer have the intention to go out.
As the head of the family, Chen Xi naturally could not leave the matter of asking for directions to two weak women who did not communicate with outsiders. While asking for directions, they made a lot of twists and turns. Originally, they just came to skip work under the slogan of checking the public sentiment.
While walking around like this, Chen Xi also noticed a lot of problems.
Chen Xi smiled and put the bracelet on Fan Jian. For girls like Fan Jian and Chen Lan who lacked nothing and were just shopping, it didn't matter whether they bought something or not. The important thing was to find what they wanted.
, but if Chen Xi was not hungry, Chen Xi would have plenty of time to worry about this kind of thing, but when his stomach started to protest, Chen Xi would not hesitate anymore.
Anyway, after the taxes came up, Liu Bei was not poor anymore. After making up for everyone's salary, he gave a big reward. Naturally, Chen Xi is not short of money at all now. As long as Fan Jian and Chen Lan keep their eyes on some jewelry or makeup.
After more than five seconds, Chen Xi directly paid for it, without giving him any time to continue selecting. He just swept through the goods all the way. The street that might have taken a long time to turn around quickly came to an end. Well, both parties were satisfied.
