After sending Lin Xi into the room, Wang Xiao came out and drank with everyone. On days like this, no matter how restrained Wang Xiaolie was, he was still drunk. He was taken into the room by the soldiers and put on the bed, and the soldiers withdrew.
Lin Xi sat quietly at the table, still wearing a hijab on her head, unable to see the specific situation clearly. But Momo Huhu felt that Wang Xiaolie had been sent back.
】
Without a mother, Lin Shengyuan had no experience. For a moment, Lin Xi didn't know what to do. Whether to get up and take off Wang Xiaolie's clothes, sit still at the table, or what to do, he was at a loss for a moment.
Wang Xiaolie fell asleep on the bed until the next morning.
Opening his eyes, he found that his coat was gone and he was covered with a brand new quilt. After being stunned for a while, I remembered that I was newly married. When he turned around, he saw the bride sitting at the table, looking at him curiously.
Sitting up, Wang Xiaolie said sheepishly: "Thank you very much. Are you sitting there without sleeping all night?"
Lin Xi nodded vigorously.
Wang Xiaolie said: "Aren't you sleepy? How can you sit down all night?"
Lin Xi said: "The bed is occupied by you. I want to sleep but there is no place to sleep -"
Wang Xiaolie was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but laugh: "From now on, we are husband and wife. Husband and wife should sleep in the same bed. I sleep on the bed, and you should sleep on the bed too. Otherwise, you will live in the same bed from now on." Don’t you sleep in my house?”
Lin Xi blushed and didn't know how to answer.
Wang Xiaolie got out of bed and asked, "What time is it now?"
Lin Xi said: "It's past Mao hour, I don't know what time it is Chen hour."
Wang Xiaolie looked around and said, "They didn't move the desk clock to the bedroom. I forgot. Now the factory produces a desk clock that will show the time. When a new one is made, I ordered one to be bought at home. of."
"Oh -" Lin Xi agreed and stopped talking.
Seeing that Lin Xi looked extremely tired and her face became even paler, I felt pity for her with her added charm. Wang Xiaolie's heart skipped a beat, but it was already getting brighter, so he had no choice but to hold back. Put on your clothes and order your soldiers to prepare breakfast.
Wang Xiaolie's breakfast was very simple. It's nothing more than a bowl of white porridge, a salted duck egg, and a plate of pickles. But the identity is there, the porridge is not ordinary porridge, it is porridge made from rice beside the Yellow River. The duck eggs are not ordinary duck eggs, it would be better if they were produced in Gushi County, Gwangju.
When the soldiers brought it, Wang Xiaolie looked at the porridge and vegetables and couldn't help but be stunned. He said to Lin Xi, "What do you have for breakfast? I asked them to make it and bring it to you."
Lin Xi whispered: "I usually eat two meat buns and drink a bowl of freshly ground tofu. But I have to go out to buy these."
Wang Xiaolie smiled and said: "In the government office, you usually don't buy food outside. That's all. Let the soldiers go to the canteen to see if there are any meat buns. There are also tofu nao canteens, but I don't know if they are still available now. There’s nothing left. - By the way, do you want the tofu puff to be salty or sweet?”
Lin Xi raised her head and asked strangely: "Why, is there any sweetness in the tofu?"
Wang Xiaolie couldn't help but laugh and said nothing.
Influenced by the dispute between sweet and salty tofu in his previous life, Wang Xiaolie specially ordered the tofu in the cafeteria to be divided into sweet and salty, using sugar from Sichuan. Because sugar is a rare thing in this era, some people actually drink sweet tofu nao, which has become a tradition in the government office. People in the market are not so particular about it, and outsiders have never heard of it.
He ordered his soldiers to go to the canteen to get meat buns and tofu buns. Because it was too late, the tofu nao was a little cold.
Lin Xi was holding a spoon there, scooping out tofu puffs with small spoonfuls and eating them. She looked up at Wang Xiaolie from time to time. Wang Xiaolie just pretended not to see it, lying on the table eating his own porridge and salted duck eggs, laughing to himself.
After finishing eating, Lin Xi picked up the dishes and said to Wang Xiaolie, "But you don't know where to wash the dishes?"
Wang Xiaolie said hurriedly: "Just leave it there, and I will have my own soldiers to take care of it. - The personal soldiers outside are sent by the Xuanfu Division to serve me. If you have anything to do, just give them orders. Don't do everything yourself. , but it makes them uncomfortable.”
Lin Xi nodded. Then he asked in a low voice: "It's no longer allowed to hire people outside, so why do you still have soldiers here?"
Wang Xiaolie said: "It's not that hiring people is no longer allowed, but hiring people requires a guarantor, and they have guilds, which is more troublesome than before. Many wealthy families used to pay a certain amount of money to hire a child at home, etc. They have to do all the work, but not anymore. Children under the age of fifteen are not allowed to be hired, only older ones can. Older children are not as cheap as before."
Lin Xi nodded and said oh. I don’t know if she really understood or pretended to understand, but she didn’t ask again.
After eating and changing clothes, Wang Xiaolie was ready to go out. Just after stepping out of the threshold, Lin Xi asked from behind: "What should I do today?"
Wang Xiaolie turned around and said to her: "Of course you can do whatever you want. If you have something to do, just tell the soldiers outside. If you want to go out for a walk, feel free to go out. The scenery in this courtyard is still good. They moved here last month Lots of chrysanthemums.”
Lin Xi shook her head gently: "But I don't like any of these."
Wang Xiaolie said: "You can read a book then. There is a study room next to it, and there are all kinds of books in it."
Lin Xi nodded slightly. Then he asked: "A few days ago, my store received a few businesses, asking for large brocade silks. I'm busy these days, and I don't know how busy they are. Can I go to the store and take a look? How are you doing?"
Wang Xiaolie thought for a while, then turned around and said: "Your store has been given to your father. You are married to me and are the wife of the Xuanfu ambassador. It is difficult to do business anymore. Regardless of whether you accept other people's money or not, there are always people who find ways to do it. It’s a lot of inconvenience to please you.”
Lin Xi was stunned after hearing this. After a while, he hurriedly asked: "I can't do anything in the future? Wouldn't that mean I would be suffocated to death!"
Wang Xiaolie nodded and said: "It's best not to do anything. Your identity is different now, and doing business will inevitably lead to the suspicion of being a poor person."
"Ah! What are you talking about?" Lin Xi looked at Wang Xiaolie with confusion on his face.
Wang Xiaolie said: "You are now my wife, and I am an envoy of various propaganda, in charge of the life and death of countless people. As long as you do business, no matter what you do, there will be people who will try their best to get close to you. When I say this, you understand not understand?"
Lin Xi nodded blankly, not sure if he understood.
Wang Xiaolie could only sigh secretly, and strode out the door without saying anything else.
Perhaps, it will take time for Lin Xi to become familiar with his identity and understand what this identity means. She still doesn't understand what getting married yesterday means, and she doesn't understand what she should do.
