I originally wanted to say something, but the wind was howling, the rain was pouring, and it was obviously going to rain harder.
"Quickly, stuff everything into the stove and go into the house." Bai Xi said and dragged Tan Sihan into the house.
Ji Xuan also helped Fang Wu stuff things in, and the two of them entered the house one after another.
Zhang Xuan also packed up the files at this time. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned around and said: "No... how did you do it? The crescent white robe is gray or white now."
His words were intermittent and full of disgust, but his eyes were full of exploration of Ji Xuan's emotions.
But Qin Sihan didn't care and smiled heartily: "It's not stupid, let him light the fire, and he lit himself."
"You asked me to take it out, so why did you point it to me?"
Ji Xuan snorted, his little face tightened, and he was a little confused.
"If you don't point yourself, how can you make yourself so black?" Tan Sihan said matter-of-factly, with a trace of amusement on the corner of his mouth.
"I...didn't pay attention when I took it out." Ji Xuan was at a loss.
There was a lot of blame and disgust, and this change was really not familiar to Ji Xuan, so he leaned against the door frame without thinking.
A pair of eyes moved around the people on the field, as if asking for help, but also as if they didn't want to argue with Tan Sihan.
"Master, you don't have to take it out. You can separate the thick and thin firewood, light the oil paper, and throw it into the thin pile."
Fang Wu smiled and said helplessly, while looking at Ji Xuan with his eyes.
She was afraid that Ji Xuan would be embarrassed because he didn't understand.
Ji Xuan, on the other hand, listened very seriously.
"Then, when the thin ones are half cooked, slowly add the thick ones." Tan Sihan added with a smile.
"But, can you tell me why you don't blow out the fire sticks properly after you use them up?" Qin Sihan said two sentences in succession.
The first sentence is dedicated to teaching Ji Xuan, but the latter sentence is obviously a joke.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ji Xuan just didn't pay attention. He blew it, but the spring breeze blew it again...
"I...I thought it would go out if I blew it." Ji Xuan was stunned.
As he said this, he lowered his head and looked at the fire sticks mixed in the pile, as if he was studying why he would not be extinguished.
Ji Xuan was studying this, while Zhang Xuan was paying attention to Qin Sihan. He did not expect that such a descendant of the Tian family, the prince Longsun, would actually do such a thing.
Shouldn't one be able to keep his fingers clean of spring water? Even Ji Xuan can't do it, but he...
Ji Xuan doesn't know it because she is busy with autopsies and investigating cases. She really doesn't know these things and is not focused. On weekdays, there are kitchens behind the Yamen and vendors outside. Ji Xuan rarely cooks. As for clothes,
Ji Xuan has always been wearing clothes without washing them. She always sends them to the lady-in-law who washes them at the Yamen. For Ji Xuan, she only needs a few.
Afterwards, the women would send them back to dry. Most of Ji Xuan's clothes were made of coarse cloth, so it wouldn't be a big problem to wash them ten times.
Therefore, it seems natural not to specialize in these things.
But, a royal young master who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, does this? Zhang Xuan looked at Bai Xi with some surprise.
However, Bai Xi looked as usual and even quickly laid out the kang.
As he walked over, he said: "Master, the kang is ready. You can go and sit for a while. If you feel that the mat is uncomfortable, there is brocade in the basket. You can spread it yourself. I will go down and throw in a mop."
Seeing Qin Sihan nod in agreement, Bai Xi stuffed the mop he brought in from the back office into the bucket and put it outside into the rain.
Zhang Xuan followed Qin Sihan's figure and looked over.
Qin Sihan was very used to finding brocade and cotton wadding in the basket. He rolled up the cotton wadding, stuffed it into the brocade, shook it, and spread it out in one go.
The laid out kang is flat and just right.
Zhang Xuan was dumbfounded when he saw it.
Qin Sihan probably noticed the strange look in Zhang Xuan's eyes. Turning around, she understood Zhang Xuan's surprise at a glance.
He spread his hands and said, "Where is the person who has no merit?"
"This is just the first time for him. He has been busy peeling off cocoons, dissecting corpses and smelling medicine all year round. As for me, I'm just busy wandering around." Tan Sihan's words sounded normal, but it sounded like a lot of changes.
"Sir Ji, I don't have to live in a yamen, or somewhere close to a yamen. It's just that I can't sleep in a place like this. Whether it's in the palace or in the mansion, it's either someone else's flattery or someone else's scheme."
Qin Sihan continued.
It seems that all his bad traits over the years have somewhere to talk to.
But Bai Xi just squatted there with his head lowered, as if he was just listening.
"But, aren't you here to serve me? Even so,..." Zhang Xuan still doesn't quite understand.
Ji Xuan also looked inquiring, and he obviously reacted.
"Besides the palace and the mansion, there are also inns and wine shops." He also said.
"He is a guard, just to protect me. He is not a slave who can be driven around at will. His specialty is killing people and opening roads. He is not a servant serving tea and water."
"As for the inn? I have to say, it's a mixed bag. Who knows who the owner is? Will he assassinate me? Are those waiters really kind? It's a poor country and bad water. There are yamen and left to choose from. Why should I ask for it?
Hard food?"
Qin Sihan's words are thorough, both inside and outside.
Bai Xi still didn't answer, just wrung out the mop and went inside, but Qin Sihan said, "Wait a while, the tide is getting more and more, and I'm not in a hurry."
Bai Xi nodded, put the mop up casually, and placed it in the corner of the wall.
"Over the years, I have traveled almost all over Daman for one person, to avoid the royal family's pursuit, and for the care of my parents, but he was the only one beside me for a long time." Tan Sihan continued.
Those soldiers were all under Bai Xi's command, and Tan Sihan never asked about them.
There are two people. Bai Xi does not have a thousand hands, and he is incapable of doing everything. Naturally, it is impossible for him to do everything well.
In addition, Qin Sihan has a weird temper and drives people away at every turn.
When Bai Xi hides out, if Qin Sihan doesn't take action himself, who will care about him? He won't make the word "Qin" known to the whole world.
Ji Xuan and Zhang Xuan have known Qin Sihan for a long time, but they don't know his full name or his residence.
But I know that he is not a person who puts on airs. He will only say his last name when it is needed, not to show off.
"Don't worry. Let Mr. Bai check in later." Ji Xuan said subconsciously. He didn't expect that someone as noble as Tan Sihan would be just like an ordinary person.
"No, I guess I won't be able to stay long. However, if Mr. Ji gives it to you for free, I'd still be happy to take it." Qin Sihan said politely.
"Okay, I guess I won't need it anyway. If I come back, I can still live in the Yamen." Ji Xuan said without hesitation.
The rain gradually became heavier and smaller, then became heavier and heavier, with no sign of stopping...
