Master, wait a minute

After that night of special getting along, there seemed to be some turning point between Chen Zhongbo and Guan Xi.In fact, neither of these two is the stupid and clumsy type. If there is a problem with getting along before, it will be the same if you correct your steps and walk again.

Thoughts have been put into action, and the lives of these two are quite sweet now.Of course, the premise is that Chen Zhongbo can be more tolerant.

Chen Zhongbo always believed that Guan Xizhi was Daxi's leading wife, so even though he was born in the mountains, he should have at least a "father look".It's a pity... go and see the dirty clothes in the tub!

In just one morning, the new clothes that had just been put on were muddy and the original color could not be seen. This is a masterpiece of building a rabbit shed.It is taken for granted that my precious son will not be clean either.At this time, Chen Jin was standing beside Chen Zhongbo, his clean clothes and fair face were obviously cleaned up.

The little guy was very good, and he stood up with a smile on his face, "Daddy, my rabbit shed is ready!" The kid was very happy, his face was full of joy.

For his son, Chen Zhongbo's heart is especially soft, and when the child smiles lightly, he is reluctant to say anything.

"Daddy, after the rabbit shed is built, the little rabbits can spend the winter!" Chen Jin pulled Chen Zhongbo over to look at the newly built rabbit shed, "Master Daddy said this way they won't be damaged by freezing!"

The north-south stone bricks are built into a square circle, and then bamboo poles are used to support the roof to make a roof, which looks a bit like a pigsty.

Chen Zhongbo walked around the rabbit shed.During the winter last year, several little rabbits were frozen to death because of the snowfall. Chen Jin was so sad because of crying. Chen Zhongbo felt sorry for his son and had to bring all those rabbits into the house.It is conceivable how miserable they were in that winter, they could not step on rabbits, and they had to prevent slipping.

Building a rabbit shed is considered a good thing, it is similar to farming in the field, although Chen Zhongbo can barely care about it, but——

The family of three sat together for lunch, and Chen Zhongbo's brows that had just been stretched tightened up again. It was fine for Chen Jin to be picky, but Guan Xizhi also became picky along with him.

Chen Zhongbo stared at Chen Jin for a while, the little guy was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly took back the sliced ​​meat that had been put out of the bowl, but it was hard to swallow.

Guan Xizhi secretly smiled, and hurriedly took a piece of shredded pork that he had neglected for a long time with his chopsticks. He didn't like to eat it either!

Chen Zhongbo bit the corner of his mouth subconsciously. He didn't seem to know Guan Xizhi as well as he imagined.

"I've never eaten much meat!"

Chen Zhongbo frowned and asked, "Do you seldom eat it? Or don't you like it?"

"Yeah, just eat very little." Guan Xizhi lowered his head, with a faint smile on his lips.

Chen Zhongbo felt slightly ill, "Then what do you usually eat?"

"Normal? It's very simple, let's eat tofu or green vegetables. I'll eat it alone. It's better to save trouble." Guan Xizhi smiled suddenly, and he pointed with his fingers: "I like to eat wild mushrooms, bamboo shoots, or Live fish in the stream. I used to eat these when I was in Ziwu Mountain.”

A fresh smell, Chen Zhongbo seemed to have known him before, he subconsciously asked: "Did I also eat this at that time?"

"That's right! Everyone eats this, and you eat it too, and you say it's delicious!"

No wonder, Chen Zhongbo sighed quietly.After returning from Ziwu Mountain, he could no longer accept the greasy taste. Even Xu Bo said that he had changed a lot. It turned out that this light preference was developed at that time.

There should be many changes, and some habits are left subconsciously.Chen Zhongbo's expression was a little gloomy, he couldn't think of it, and he couldn't do it if he wanted to compare it, it's a pity.

Guan Xizhi patted the back of Chen Zhongbo's hand, "Don't always let me tell you, you can tell me too. How have you lived these years?" Guan Xizhi really wanted to know, Chen Zhongbo lost He lost his memory for two years, but he, he lost Chen Zhongbo for six years.How many days and nights are six years and six years!

Chen Zhongbo looked at Guan Xizhi, then turned to look at Chen Jin who was sitting at the dinner table.He has lived with his son for several years, and his son is very obedient and considerate. There is nothing unsatisfactory in his life, and he seems to have nothing to say.

Chen Zhongbo remained speechless, Guan Xizhi thought he needed time to recall, and felt even more guilty.Clutching Chen Zhongbo's hands, Guan Xizhi held them tightly, "It must be hard for you to take care of your son." Such a young child, when they were separated, the little guy couldn't even roll over.To eat, drink, and grow up, how did Chen Zhongbo do it alone?

Speaking of his son, no matter how hard-hearted he is, he can't help being soft. Chen Zhongbo smiled slightly and said, "Jin'er has a good personality since he was a child. When I am busy, I put him on the desk or next to the embroidery frame. He never It's awkward to cry. A small piece of cloth can play all afternoon, so it's very worry-free!"

Guan Xizhi was surprised, "You, Jin'er, was brought up by you? Then, what about the servants in the mansion?"

"The servants in the house..." Chen Zhongbo was embarrassed, "I didn't know why at that time, I really couldn't trust anyone. I subconsciously protected Jin'er. He is the only memory I have left, just like My lifeblood is the same, I am really worried about leaving my child to others.”

Chen Zhongbo never easily recalls these sad pasts, he has always been strong and firm, he does not allow himself to be a little weak, even if those things really happened.

Guan Xizhi was obviously heartbroken, and Chen Zhongbo rarely comforted him: "You don't have to blame yourself, my memory came back suddenly. At that time, I just wanted to go home. I didn't even know you existed, let alone that you would find me. will wait for me."

Tightening the hands that held each other with Guan Xizhi, Chen Zhongbo smiled, "My memory only goes to the time when I was killed and injured, and the things I recall later are all based on fragments of dreams. I can't remember, but I vaguely feel that I am very happy, Jin'er and I don't look like we've suffered, and this makes me feel very at ease."

Chen Zhongbo was not used to comforting, and apart from being awkward, he was also a little agitated inside.He has changed a lot recently, relaxed, down-to-earth, warm, these unfamiliar words have become reliable and real one by one.

These are all thanks to Guan Xi.It was Guan Xizhi who helped him and improved his current cold situation.

Thank you so much.

The beginning of autumn is approaching, and it is time for every household to rush to make winter clothes.Under Chen Zhongbo's arrangement, Guan Xizhi deliberately found a day of free time, and took Chen Jin to a Xiangyun Brocade nearest to the academy for tailor-made clothes.

Long gowns, coats, and padded gowns each have their own sizes and specifications.

Chen Jin smiled and stood on the chair, letting the masters measure up and down.From time to time, the little guy would blink his big black eyes and smack his lips at the waiting wife and father, or wave his little hands.

Guan Xizhi felt amused, his son was so troublesome, and he didn't know whether he was happy with this kind of activity, or because he was considerate of Chen Zhongbo's good intentions.

In fact, Chen Jin has such complicated thoughts.He has to make new clothes three or four times a year, although it is boring, but every time he finishes his work, he has beautiful new clothes to wear, and his father will take him to the Phoenix Tower for a meal, good job!

The shopkeeper's surname is Tang.Holding a ruler, he walked up to Guan Xizhi in a few steps, "Master Guan, please measure it too!"

The head of Chen's family gave special instructions yesterday, and this master surnamed Guan will also do a full set of it!

Unexpectedly, Guan Xizhi repeatedly waved his hands and refused: "No need, no need!"

Guan Xizhi was not being polite, he just didn't think it was necessary.In the middle of his annual salary, there is a share for buying clothes.And there are still a few new sets of clothes in the closet, he has enough to wear, so he doesn't need to make any more.

"But the head of the house has already ordered us to make winter clothes for you."

After receiving the receipt from Master Tang, Guan Xizhi felt helpless, ten sets of formal gowns, four Jinyun cotton robes, four woolen cloaks, leather boots, leather hats and so on.Guan Xizhi has seen the world before, but this is the first time he has seen such an exaggerated world.It's hard to accept for a while! "Master Tang, I really don't need the clothes."

"Why not?" Chen Zhongbo came in from the outside, his words were full of doubts.Everyone has come to the shop, why not use it?

"Daddy!" Seeing his dearest and most beloved daddy, Chen Jin hurriedly jumped off the chair, and trotted into Chen Zhongbo's arms.Dad is so busy recently, he doesn't have time to act like a baby.

Chen Zhongbo couldn't help smiling, and hugged Chen Jin firmly. The father and son turned their heads and questioned Guan Xizhi, why don't they make new clothes? !What is the reason?

"My clothes are enough to wear! Besides, it's a waste of money." Guan Xizhi smiled awkwardly. Xiangyun Brocade is so famous that even ordinary clothes cost two to thirty taels of silver.His yearly salary does not exceed seventy taels, so what does he use to make clothes?

Chen Zhongbo thought about it for a while: "It's up to you to do it or not. When it's cold, don't complain everywhere."

Guan Xi's heart felt warm for no reason.A few days ago, he discussed the temperature in the city with Chen Zhongbo, but he didn't expect him to remember it. He was moved, so moved!

Chen Zhongbo is a very caring person, since he decided to get along well with Guan Xizhi, he has given the most sincerity, and he has been carefully exploring the way to get along with Guan Xizhi.Guan Xizhi is a scholar, so he should care more about face than ordinary people.If you don't accept expensive gifts, don't make expensive clothes, don't you want to eat expensive meals?

"Actually..." Guan Xizhi hesitated for a long time.He knelt down and gently took his son's little hand, "Jin'er, will my master take you to eat in the sea?"

"Hail fishing?" Chen Jin exclaimed, and looked up at Chen Zhongbo. He had never eaten this before, so he was very curious!

Chen Zhongbo smiled, Guan Xizhi's recommendations were all very good before, so it doesn't matter if I believe it again.

Haililao's shop is nestled at the corner of an alley, the front door is the kitchen, and there is no place to eat indoors.More than a dozen tables were placed on the street, noisy, loud, and crowded.

Guan Xizhi dodged left and right, and did not forget to introduce: "The environment here is a bit poor, but the quality of the food is top-notch. Look at these, these are repeat customers!" Pointing here, Then point over there.

The boss of Haililao seems to be very familiar with Guan Xizhi. He not only helped carry out a brand new large wooden table, but also said that he can eat for free.

"Free money? No, no!" Guan Xizhi patted the boss on the shoulder and spoke in a local dialect. This kind of communication is so comfortable.

Chen Zhongbo smiled. At this time, Guan Xizhi was enthusiastic and lively, which was very different from the solemnity of the past, but he had the taste of ordinary people, which was very rare.

After setting up the tables and chairs, Guan Xizhi smiled and said, "The boss here is named Zhang, and he is an old neighbor from Ziwu Mountain."

Chen Zhongbo was slightly taken aback, "Have I seen it?"

"You haven't seen it. But you have seen his parents, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang, the family that used to give us fish."

Chen Zhongbo nodded, with a faint embarrassment in his expression.He doesn't have any memories, he doesn't remember anything about Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang.

Guan Xizhi laughed at this situation, "Hailiao has several special pot bases, if you don't like spicy ones, then use hibiscus soup base instead."

Following Guan Xizhi's example, Chen Zhongbo also adjusted the ingredients.He doesn't like spicy food, but he especially prefers the numb taste.Looking at the black peppers in the bowl, Chen Zhongbo smiled with satisfaction. When he was dining in the Phoenix Tower, he never had such an opportunity to do it himself and mix it at will.

Distributing some ingredients to his son, Chen Zhongbo immediately thought of something, "I heard that the imperial court wants to transfer you to be the chief editor of Wenyuan Pavilion?"

This kind of thing has always spread quickly, Guan Xizhi smiled lightly: "Master Feng just mentioned it, I haven't agreed yet."

"Why didn't you agree?" Chen Zhongbo wondered, the editor-in-chief of Wenyuan Pavilion could not be regarded as a high-ranking official, but he could also be listed as an important general in the court.This is a good thing, why would Guan Xizhi refuse?

"I still think it's more practical to be a wife."

"Reliable?" Chen Zhongbo hesitated for a while before asking, Guan Xizhi seemed to have a very different idea from his.

Guan Xizhi smiled all over his face, and he also fully understood this gap.He wouldn't feel depressed, he and Chen Zhongbo were originally two types.They have completely different experiences, how can their ideas be easily consistent. "Actually, there is nothing wrong with the saying 'you can see far when you stand high'! It's just that not everyone can stand on a high place innocently."

Chen Zhongbo lowered his head to think, Guan Xizhi smiled, and said: "No one can reach the sky in one step. There will be countless difficulties, obstacles, temptations, and benefits on the way to the high place. The concentration required can be seen."

Chen Zhongbo frowned slightly, questioning: "Can't you resist these?"

"Fame and fortune, who can resist!" Guan Xizhi said bluntly.

It was hard for Chen Zhongbo to accept such a statement, "In order to protect your reputation, would you rather do nothing?"

Guan Xizhi shook his head, "I teach, and I pass on the knowledge that fills my head to others, how can I do nothing?"

One more sentence of communication will increase understanding.Chen Zhongbo never knew that Guan Xizhi had such a bearing.

"Guan Xizhi, you are special!" He said from the bottom of his heart.In the officialdom, there are many people who go for fame and reputation. Guan Xizhi's character of treating fame and fortune like floating clouds is really commendable!

Chen Jin loves to eat fish, so why not Chen Zhongbo and Guan Xizhi.After the meal, the family of three specially bought some fresh fish to take back. The fish caught in the sea is very special, not too big, but the meat is very tender and delicious.

As the sun went down, the three of them walked together.Chen Jin is in the middle, Chen Zhongbo and Guan Xi are on the left and one on the right.A very beautiful Sichuan character.Chen Jin was very happy, bouncing and walking in the front, still holding a small bag given to him by Guan Xi in his hand.

Looking at his son's back, Chen Zhongbo was suddenly moved.The little guy has grown up, he is no longer the milk doll he used to be...

"My son said you're going to take him out tomorrow?"

"Yeah, I haven't had time to tell you yet!" Guan Xizhi smiled brightly, "The Seventeenth Prince just gave birth to a son, and I want to take Jin'er to see the baby."

Seventeen princes, little baby... Chen Zhongbo couldn't help frowning.He knew the Seventeenth Prince, but only on official business.

"Are you familiar with the Seventeenth Prince?"

"It's very familiar, he often helps me catch fish to eat!"

"Catch fish to eat?!" Chen Zhongbo was very surprised.

Guan Xizhi raised the corners of his mouth, "The Seventeenth Prince used to learn martial arts in Ziwu Mountain when he was a child, Doctor Xue was his master, do you remember Doctor Xue?"

Guan Xizhi looked at Chen Zhongbo, "When you were injured, Doctor Xue treated you!"

Doctor Xue... Chen Zhongbo thought for a while, but he didn't have any impression. He had never dreamed of this person, nor the Seventeenth Prince, "I haven't seen the Seventeenth Prince, have I? When I was in Ziwu Mountain. "

"That's not true, the Seventeenth Prince went down the mountain after he became an adult!"

People are like this, they are far more curious when they know something than when they know nothing.The same is true of Chen Zhongbo.

"Did you meet the prince again later?"

"I did. Before going to the 'East Dan' country, I paid a special visit to the prince." At that time, Guan Xizhi was going to ask the seventeenth prince. His family was missing, and he needed the help of the prince to help him find it.

Chen Zhongbo also vaguely guessed something.If it wasn't for this reason, it would be impossible for Guan Xizhi to take the initiative to find the prince, he is not the type of climber at all.In short, Guan Xizhi's personality is very "hard"!

"Then you, how did you and Fengruo meet?" Fengruo is the owner of Daxi's famous restaurant Phoenix Tower.Chen Zhongbo knew Feng Ruo very well, and knew Feng Ruo's character very well.He didn't think that Feng Ruo and Guan Xizhi would be fellow travelers, their personalities were too different.

"Feng Ruo's father, Lord Feng, he is my teacher."

Thinking of this, Guan Xizhi suddenly sighed, "When Feng Ruo got married, I also went to drink his wedding wine. He also told me that you wanted to find a wife for your son. It's a pity, I didn't know it was you .”

Guan Xizhi regretted it very much. If he had agreed at that time, he could have reunited with his family earlier.

Chen Zhongbo also remembered this incident, "Fengruo mentioned this incident to me that day. However, I was anxious to take my son home at that time, and we left before lighting the lamp."

Guan Xizhi twitched the corners of his mouth, full of regret, "I went there after lighting the lamps, and there are still things to do in the academy during the day."

In this way, the family of three missed it.

Every time this kind of thing is mentioned, Guan Xizhi can't help but get excited.Chen Zhongbo realized carefully that this is a different Guan Xizhi from the past.It seems that it is not bad to get to know each other again.

Is it difficult to re-understand it, and it is not easy to say it is easy!

The biggest problem is working hours.There are too many differences between Chen Zhongbo and Guan Xizhi, often when Chen Zhongbo walks into the house, Guan Xizhi has already fallen asleep with his son.But the next morning, when Guan Xizhi accompanied his son to the academy, Chen Zhongbo was still asleep.

Chen Zhongbo is helpless, the time has entered late autumn, his business will only become more busy, a lot of things are waiting for him, there is no possibility for him to go home early!

On this day, when Chen Zhongbo stepped into the house, it was past midnight.

Chen Zhongbo didn't feel sleepy, he sat beside the desk, spread out a piece of paper to read one by one, and occasionally wrote down a sentence or two of comments, with an extremely focused expression.

The heavy bed curtain tightly blocked the outside. In his sleep, Guan Xizhi faintly heard some movement, and gently lifted a small crack.Guan Xizhi was very helpless, it was so late, why didn't Chen Zhongbo rest?

Not knowing what to say, Guan Xizhi could only cough lightly as a greeting.

"You're awake!" Chen Yangbo reluctantly raised his head, his eyes were still focused on his official business, and he was now dealing with a critical moment.

Guan Xizhi frowned, and casually picked up the clothes around him. He wanted to take a look and see what Chen Zhongbo was busy with.

After a few steps to the desk, Guan Xizhi looked and looked.He is a layman, he can't understand the sketches on the drawing paper.

Sensing movement around him, Chen Zhongbo said casually, "Go to sleep first, I'll sleep later."

"Oh, what are you?"

"It's just some embroidery patterns."

"Embroidery patterns? Do you want to do this too?"

Chen Zhongbo's lips parted slightly, but he didn't say a word.

Guan Xizhi immediately realized that he and Chen Zhongbo never talked about business affairs.This time should be no exception!Quietly amused in his heart, Chen Zhongbo held these things carefully, was he afraid that he would secretly take them away?I really underestimated him!Guan Xizhi has been sitting by the desk without making a sound, just gently moving the books and stroking the paper, as if sorting out the mess.

Chen Zhongbo raised his head occasionally, and the two looked at each other with a smile, "How is your son?"

"Very good. Boss Liu of Ziyunzhai wants to publish a collection of paintings for him. The little guy is so beautiful!"

A collection of paintings?Chen Zhongbo was pleasantly surprised, "When will it come out?"

Guan Xizhi waved his hand, "No, I refuse."

"Rejected?" Chen Zhongbo frowned, Guan Xizhi rejected his own future a few days ago.Now he has turned down the chance to become famous for his son!what does he mean?

"How old is my son, he can't even talk about basic painting skills, how can he have the ability to publish a collection of paintings."

"Then why did they give it?"

Chen Zhongbo is a businessman, so he naturally understands the nature of a businessman who "doesn't want to make a profit". Would anyone do business at a loss?People must think that their son is capable and promising, so they would suggest this.

"I want to find another way, and the children's painting collection will definitely attract attention." Guan Xizhi smiled indifferently, "Jin'er's level is indeed better than that of children of the same age, but he will definitely not reach the point where he can publish a painting collection. I don't want my son to die early Famous, his chest will swell, that's not good."

Just as Chen Zhongbo was about to stare, Guan Xizhi immediately stopped, "You let me take full responsibility for my son."

There was helplessness in the words, Guan Xizhi knew that Chen Zhongbo would definitely oppose his decision, but he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.It is an honor for his son's paintings to be favored by art dealers, and he eagerly wants to share this joy with Chen Zhongbo.

My son is very proud!Guan Xizhi thought about it, and then looked at the drawings in Chen Zhongbo's pen, "I think Jin'er is really talented in painting, this must be like you!"

Guan Xizhi expressed his feelings, and Chen Zhongbo's simple strokes are like a beautiful flower.The son is also good at flowers and plants, is it hereditary?

That's right!Chen Zhongbo nodded lightly, "Jin'er is very patient and has a calm personality, which must be like you!"

Guan Xizhi smiled softly and felt the same way.

Chatting casually, Guan Xizhi vaguely remembered something and hesitated in his heart, it seemed that it was not easy to talk about it.

"What's the matter, tell me!" Chen Zhongbo could see clearly, Guan Xizhi muttered, it's rare.

Guan Xizhi smiled, "You, do you use contraceptives?"

Chen Zhongbo frowned, "Contraception, what do you mean?"

"What do I mean?" Guan Xizhi was a little puzzled, "If you don't want to regenerate, you need to use medicine!"

Chen Zhongbo tilted his head and looked at Guan Xizhi, lost in thought, "I didn't say I didn't want to have a baby."

"Then, are you planning to give birth?" Guan Xizhi couldn't believe it, "I thought, I thought you didn't plan to give birth!"

See, this is the result of poor communication.Still bad results.

Guan Xizhi was secretly annoyed that he and Chen Zhongbo didn't communicate badly, they did, they didn't communicate at all.

Recognizing the mistake and correcting it quickly, Guan Xizhi's eyes were filled with eager anticipation, "Then you really plan to make another one?"

Chen Zhongbo was noncommittal.He is indeed looking forward to it, think about it, a child as considerate and cute as Jin Er, who wouldn't want another one?

Guan Xizhi was overjoyed, resting his head on the table, looking at Chen Zhongbo with a smile, "Zhongbo, you are so kind."

Chen Zhongbo ignored him, Guan Xizhi was not discouraged, put his hands around Chen Zhongbo's waist, and made trouble twice.

Chen Zhongbo frowned, "What are you doing?"

"What do you say?"

Guan Xizhi's eyes were shining brightly, just as he was about to steal a sweet kiss, he was blocked by Chen Zhongbo, "Wait—"

"Wait? Can't wait, I'm still waiting for you to give birth to a son!"

"Have a son? Why do you want to have a son?"

"Jin'er wants a younger brother, how can a daughter be suitable?"

"Nonsense..." The voice gradually became low, and the curling ending was swallowed by the kiss.

Another night of lingering.On such a day, Chen Zhongbo was extremely happy, as happy as in a dream.Will the dream wake up?Chen Zhongbo muttered to himself, he didn't want to wake up, he didn't want to be like six years ago...
