After saying goodbye to Wang Po and Wang Shu, Xiao Hou and Pang Zhijing took the wine pot and slowly returned to the original road.
At this time, Pang Zhijing's mood was very low, and she had not recovered from the blow of the failed fried rice.
Xiao Hou took a few steps and found that his ears were too clean. It turned out that it was the little rogue who stopped talking.
"What? Are you still mad at me?" Xiao Hou said with a smile.
Pang Zhijing glared at him sadly, "Why don't you tell the truth! Are you happy to make me embarrassed?"
Xiao Hou rubbed his brows and eyes, "Do you think it's funny that I made you look ugly?"
When she heard it, she thought about it, and it didn't seem interesting, and he ate a lot of that plate of fried rice alone. Later, she tasted it. It was indeed a dark dish among dark dishes, and she suddenly lost confidence in cooking by herself.
And he was able to eat so much without changing his face. It was simply too powerful. If Uncle Wang hadn't come back to reveal it, I'm afraid he would have eaten it all.
She suddenly had a question, and immediately trotted in front of him, her eyes fixed on him, and she questioned, "It's obvious that I fry it so badly, why did you lie to me and eat it?"
Xiao Hou looked at her like an idiot, she couldn't think of such an obvious reason, it's really an elm head!
He shook his head, looking like a child who couldn't be taught, then bypassed her and walked straight forward.
It was completely ignored by him.
Pang Zhijing was stunned for a moment, and immediately chased after her, "Hey, if you don't say anything, I'll keep bothering you if you don't!"
Xiao Hou was so annoyed by her tenacity that he couldn't help, he stopped and looked at her, "I don't want to discourage your enthusiasm for cooking, are you satisfied with this reason?"
After speaking, when she was in a daze, she bypassed her again and continued to move forward.
Pang Zhijing came back to her senses, chasing after him, and said, "Xiao Hou, you are so despicable, don't expect me to cook for you in the future, this princess won't wash your hands and make soup if you don't touch the spring water."
Xiao Hou ignored her at all.
She also felt boring when she said that, anyway, she will not be by his side in the future, who would like to wash his hands and make soup for him!
But she still had a question in her heart, and her tone was quite serious, "Since you treat Wang Po and Wang Shu so well, why don't you bring them into the palace to live?"
Xiao Hou sighed lightly, "I took them to the palace for retirement a long time ago, but they said they were used to the current life and didn't want to change places, so I would come to visit them occasionally."
"I understand that it's like living in one place for a long time, and you don't want to move the nest. Those old people in our hometown have worked hard for their children all their lives. In the end, the children want to take them to enjoy happiness. They have a hometown with a familiar environment for their relatives, so it’s good to follow their wishes, visit them often, and don’t let them become empty nesters.”
She was quite emotional, because her grandparents were like this, they had been staying in the small village and were unwilling to go to the city to live with them. They can only go back to accompany them during the festivals.
He does not mean that.
Xiao Hou felt that with her identity and experience, she should not have such a deep understanding.
But he didn't ask directly, because he knew that even if she asked, she wouldn't say it, and even if she said it, it wasn't necessarily true.
After getting along for so long, he has already figured out what kind of temperament she is.
"But you don't have to worry, after they get married, they will move into the palace and be with you."
She was walking well, and when she heard him say that, she almost tripped over herself.
"What did you just say? Say it again?" She doubted her ears.
Xiao Hou didn't expect her to react so strongly, so he raised his eyebrows and told her what he had said to Mrs. Wang in the kitchen.
"Wang Po feels that she is getting old and wants to stay with us for more time, but I think her main reason should be to help you get a foothold in the palace. She used to be my mother's nurse, and she is also responsible for managing the size of the inner courtyard. Appropriate, if she is by your side, I will be more at ease."
This made her feel a little guilty.
When you have secretly prepared your luggage to leave, everyone is planning for you, and she suddenly feels ashamed of them.
It felt as if I had done something perfidious.
Xiao Hou felt the change in her mood, remembered what she and Chu Qingyan had planned before, and sneered, he didn't take this matter seriously at all, because he didn't believe she could escape from his palm at all. Heart.
Later, when he recalled his thoughts today, he realized how conceited and stupid he was.
Because these roads are relatively secluded, there are few people coming and going, and the two of them are wearing hats, no one can recognize their identities, they will only feel that the pair of men and women walking from a distance, no matter how they look Or the temperament, it's that kind of match.
Going to the fork in the road, the bustling market is just ahead. Pang Zhijing felt that there were passers-by peeking at the two of them everywhere. She usually does things very high-profile, but she is still low-key, so she has the idea of breaking up with him.
"Well, we each—"
Before she could finish her words, suddenly a group of children chased each other and ran over. One of them didn't look at the road and hit her directly. She was taken around in a circle and then fell to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Hou couldn't get past the group of children to save her at all, he could only watch her fall to the ground.
"sorry Sorry-"
The kid got up from the ground, apologized, and ran away.
Pang Zhijing got up from the ground, rubbing her hands on the rough ground, and it was painful. She frowned and looked at the backs of the group of children who were escaping quickly.
Xiao Hou walked in front of her and squatted down with her, "How is it, can you stand up?"
"Let me try."
Just as she was about to stand up, one of her ankles was useless, and she fell to the ground again.
Seeing the pain on her face, Xiao Xu immediately opened her trouser legs and found that the old wound seemed to have recurred again, with a large area of redness and swelling.
"Sure enough, the root of the disease has fallen!" Pang Zhijing looked dejected.
Xiao Hou thought for a while, then stuffed the jug in her arms into her arms, then turned his back to her and said, "Come up."
Pang Zhijing glanced at the jug in his hand, and then at his shoulders that looked not wide but were actually strong inside. After hesitating for a while, he climbed up with both hands and feet.
It's a joke, she can't even walk now, not to mention that there are no people here, can she be reserved for food or send her home
Xiao Xu walked towards the way back with her back.
"What did you just say?" he asked.
Pang Zhijing blinked and pretended to be stupid, "Did I just speak? My memory is not very good recently, I'll talk about it when I think about it!"
Xiao Hou showed a clear smile, lifted her up, and went home in a hurry.
