Chapter 198 Inexplicable Love

Chang Xi thought of her book, and when it was snowing and did not go out, a cup of tea and a book, reading for a whole day, would be a comfortable day.

She happily came to Cao's house together, and she accidentally saw a beautiful woman beside Cao Jingxiu.

The girl was about the same age as Chang Xiuzhu, dressed in bright red, seemed to be the only plum blossom blooming in the snow.

Well-dressed, glamorous and eye-catching, she looks like a lady from a rich family.

Before Chang Xi could speak, it was the lady in red who spoke first: "Cousin, is she the Chang Xi you often mention?"

cousin?

Chang Xi scrutinized the woman up and down, she was somewhat related by blood, in terms of appearance, clothes, and temperament, she was not similar to Cao Jingxiu.

The woman's gestures and gestures, showing her manners and temperament, are all saying that she is noble.

Especially when you get close, you can smell the warm fragrance emanating from her body, which is the kind of expensive spice that is freely mixed.

The fragrance is a good fragrance that I have never smelled before.

Chang Xi commented like this from the bottom of his heart, and then turned his eyes to meet the woman in red. Chang Xi didn't shy away from avoiding it, but showed her face.

Cao Jingxiu noticed that the atmosphere was a bit subtle, and he held the book in his hand.

"This is my cousin Zhao Jia. Her mother is my aunt. I met her by accident in Liaocheng, and I brought her back for her safety."

Mrs. Cao nodded beside her, as if she proved that she was not lying.

"Xibao, I've selected a few books for you, do you like them?" Cao Jingxiu handed over the books and naturally turned his attention away.

Chang Xi naturally reached out to take it, looking at it casually.

The books include literature, medicine, and even a travelogue of mountains and rivers, which should be for her to read.

Chang Xi showed a shallow smile: "How much money did you spend in total? I will pay you back now."

Now her purse is not empty.

Since the popcorn business started at home, there has never been a day of silence, so each of the children in their family has pocket money.

When it comes to spending money, everyone is naturally generous, unlike the fearful ones in the past who wanted to spend two cents for one penny.

Cao Jingxiu raised his eyebrows and said, "No need, Xiaoqian."

Zhao Jia was at the side, and continued hostilely: "It's just buying books, it's really a small amount of money."

I don't know if Cao Jingxiu's gentle treatment made Zhao Jia feel a sense of crisis. When he looked at Chang Xi, he was full of hostility.

Chang Xi felt the provocation deep in the other party's soul.

"My cousin never likes to be troublesome. Miss Chang Xi, if you have something to do in the future, just come to me. I will stay by my cousin's side."

She spoke in a high-spirited tone, with a melodious voice, a bright red mouth, and the words she spit out were not very pleasant.

"By the way, I also brought you some meeting gifts."

She gave her personal maid a wink, and the maid took out the so-called gift and opened it in front of everyone.

In fact, if you don't open it, Chang Xi already knows what it is.

She smelled a familiar sweet fragrance, and she didn't breathe hot anymore, but the sweetness of malt sugar still lingered on the tip of her nose.

I just heard the maid say: "You have been living in the village, you must have never eaten it. It is called popcorn and it is the most fashionable thing in Stone Town."

"My lady tasted it and found it to be quite good, so I bought it back to share with you, take it back and eat slowly."

Chang Xi knew that the maid dog's demeaning attitude was secretly poking at them, belittling them as ignorant country people.

It's a pity that country people like them really know it.

Chang An was impatient, he couldn't help it at first, and choked with the maid: "I thought it was something good?"

"Since your lady likes this popcorn, take it home and eat more. We don't want to eat it."

In fact, the surrounding Cao family did not expect this so-called gift, Mrs. Cao couldn't help laughing.

She felt harmless, but said softly: "Actually, this popcorn is made by their family. The shops in the town are also opened by their family."

One sentence revealed the truth, Zhao Jia and the maid blushed in public: "Why didn't you say it earlier."

Zhao Jia was in a hurry, and didn't want to lose her composure in front of Cao Jingxiu, but she couldn't regain her strength, and she softened all of a sudden.

"Since it was made by your family, then this gift doesn't count."

She reached out and took off a hairpin from her bun: "Here, I'll give it to you as a meeting gift."

Now Chang Xi is still adorned with hair bands and hair ties, her dress is too simple, if she wears it on her head on the spot, it will appear in contrast with Zhao Jia's hairpin.

Chang Xi still didn't reach out to take it, her expression was calm, and she couldn't tell if she liked it or not.

"Thank you Miss Zhao for your kindness. Your gift is too expensive, and I don't have anything suitable to return. You can keep the hairpin and wear it yourself."

Chang Xi saluted the others again, and hurriedly left with the book in his hand.

When she got home, she touched the book in a daze.

The other three brothers came over: "What is Xibao thinking?"

"Well, I'm wondering if Ms. Zhao is going to stay for the New Year." Chang Xi's tone showed unknowing hesitation.

Chang An's mind was stuck, and he immediately said: "You don't care if she wants to celebrate the New Year or not, it has nothing to do with our family."

Chang Xi didn't speak, she was just reviewing the scene just now in her mind.

When I saw the woman standing beside Cao Jingxiu, I was a little surprised.

After all, he always has an expression of refusal to strangers, and she feels that the relationship between the two is not bad.

It's hard to say what kind of mood I am in, the feeling is quite complicated.

Chang Xi's thoughts wandered outside, and Chang Le snatched the book under his elbow.

He opened a book casually, ready to read aloud.

Who knew that after reading a few lines, the thought of opening his mouth disappeared in an instant.

Chang Le closed the book in frustration: "There are so many words I don't know. Third sister's books are so profound, can you understand them?"

These books are all written vertically and in classical Chinese.

Obscure and difficult to understand, need to chew slowly.

Chang Xi nodded casually, then shook his head and said, "Half and half, learning is endless."

"It's not just me, you guys watch it with me. If you see something you don't understand, just ask your master."

"It's called not being ashamed to ask, understand?"

Chang Xi always does not feel self-conscious that she will reveal the tone of an elder and talk to Chang Le.

Chang Le was taken aback by the lesson.

In the days that followed, they were really concentrating on reading a book at the same time, copying down the words they didn't know and giving them to their master.

And Cao Wu also came back with Cao Jingxiu.

However, he did not urge the four of them to practice martial arts in time, nor did he come to test Xiao Changxi's martial arts training results.

He seemed to be very busy, leaving early and returning late, so quiet that the four brothers and sisters almost forgot that there was such a person.

On an accidental day, the four brothers and sisters went to find their wives, entered the village to learn the gate, and met Cao Jingxiu in the depths of the second courtyard.

Is he too?
What is he here for?
