Chapter 161
Qing Xing prepared the meal for Jin Xi to finish, and went out with the plate and saw that Zhou Qingniu was still stuck at the door, she said angrily, "Why are you still here, don't you eat?"

"No...it's nothing!" Zhou Qingniu blushed, and reached out to pick up the large tray in Qingxing's hand, "I'll help you!"

"You dropped things carelessly, what do you use, girl?" Qing Xing sideways dodged Zhou Qingniu's overstretched hand, and glared at him, "Didn't I tell you to stop talking about me, how ugly it is?"

"Yes... the sister reminded me, I... I remembered!" Zhou Qingniu scratched his head, grinning and showing a mouthful of white teeth. "I want to ask my sister, where does my food come from!"

"Who is your sister? I want to grow up like you, and I can see people!" Qing Xing muttered, but raised her chin to signal Zhou Qingniu to go with her, "Didn't Mr. Qin choose you to come to Beijing with him? Then eat with us in the future, tell the cook how much you can eat in advance, don't lose your stomach."

"En! En! Thank you, sister!" Zhou Qingniu nodded honestly, but he was secretly proud of himself. It seems that this time he was so angry that he begged the son to take him to Beijing, please be right!
Although the deck of this ship is thicker than ordinary passenger ships, it is not as soundproof as brick walls.The conversation between Qingxing and Zhou Qingniu outside the door fell into Jinxi's ears, and she couldn't help but wry smile.Could it be that this is another caring couple?

But Qing Xing is 13 years old, it's time to make some plans for her future!If Ai's mother is let out of the house, she can't be left alone to take care of her!But let Qing Xing go, there is really no one here!

Jin Xi was full of tangled stomachs, the big boat had already arrived at Sucheng Wharf.The Yunlong flag with a blue background and a moon-white zigzag edge was hung on the bow, indicating that it was an official ship.The large and small ships on the pier hurriedly vacated their space, the big ship slowly approached the shore, and before it could stop, a black figure jumped onto the bow of the ship.

When Jin Xi saw the familiar and vigorous figure from the window, her lips curled up involuntarily, and she didn't even realize it, her mood that had been gloomy all the time actually improved a bit.

Qin Xiao's luggage was unexpectedly small, Jin Xi only saw the porter pick up two boxes, Qin Xiao ordered the boat to sail.

When Qin Xiao came in, he rushed to the dessert plate, and Jin Xi knew that he hadn't had lunch yet, so he ordered Qing Xing to prepare lunch for him.Looking back, seeing Qin Xiao gobbling it up as if he hadn't eaten for a few days, he quickly poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to him, "Eat slowly, I won't compete with you."

"I don't know why, but the food here is very delicious." Qin Xiao took the tea and drank it all in one gulp, then grabbed a piece of chestnut cake and wanted to stuff it into his mouth. Jin Xi reached out to stop him, "Why do you eat so many dim sum?" Eat? Turn around and be hungry before meal time, such a big person, how can he act like a child? It's really worrying!"

"Are you worrying about me?" Qin Xiao put down the chestnut cake without hesitation, and unceremoniously grabbed Jinxi's handkerchief to wipe the crumbs from his hands, and looked up at Jinxi with a smile while wiping.

At this moment, the big ship was leaning back from the pier, and the bright sunlight at noon came in through the window, just falling on Qin Xiao's side face, like a stroke of thick paint, outlining that smile like glass, shining like glass.

"I..." Jin Xi stared back, originally wanting to say that I don't have the time to worry about this for you, but when she looked up, she saw Qin Xiao's innocent smiling face.Thick eyebrows are like a sharp edge, flying obliquely towards the forehead, the eyes are darkened by the wheat-colored skin, although there is a smile on the corner of the lips, but the eyes are shining, there is nothing in them, only her reflection is upright The right one is printed in the middle.

Those eyes looked unobstructed, as if they wanted to take her in, those gazes were as real as a net, tightening her heart like a net, and Jin Xi felt a sense of suffocation.Not only could he not speak, his eyes had no place to rest, and he didn't even notice that a strand of hair was blown by the river wind and curled around his cheek.

Qin Xiao didn't expect that Jin Xi would be so startled that he forgot to breathe, and looked at him with a pale face, as if he was looking at a monster.I was annoyed and regretted in my heart, knowing that this fool would never turn a corner, why did I have nothing to do to find something to add to my troubles?
Annoyed, his eyes involuntarily fell on the messy lock of hair on her cheek. The lock of hair was blown up and down by the river wind, and his heart also went up and down. He just drank a bowl of tea and his mouth was dry. It's going to smoke.Without even thinking about it, he stretched out his hand to pinch the strand of hair behind her ear, and the slippery touch made him lose his mind for a moment.He didn't react until he glanced at the translucent and moist skin in front of him, gradually turning into pink, and finally even the translucent earlobes turned purple.

"Fool! You don't even know how to say empty words to sell people's favors. You're so stupid!" He said strange words, but for the first time he was so guilty that he didn't dare to look up, for fear of seeing her angry face.Qin Xiao cursed secretly, but the corners of his eyes slid uncontrollably to Jin Xi's face, wanting to see if she was angry.

Jin Xi was in a trance, never expecting that Qin Xiao would make such a move, his slightly rough fingertips scratched his cheeks, and it was crispy and itchy, but the itching actually burrowed into the pores like a bug. In her heart, she wanted to grab but couldn't, and she was disturbed if she didn't grab.But this kind of restlessness was different from any time before, it didn't make her nervous and flustered, on the contrary, she was both surprised and happy, as if something had fallen to the ground, and she felt inexplicably at ease.

Across the table, staring blankly at Qin Xiao who was also embarrassed, Jin Xi's mind was in a mess, neither could he think nor calm himself down.Intuition something is wrong, but do not know what is wrong!

"The food is ready, shall we serve it now?" The cabin door was left open, Qing Xing didn't think much about it, she stepped in while holding the tray, and saw Jin Xi and Qin Xiao sitting across the table, one of them was shocked A face full of thought.

Seeing that Qin Xiao has nothing to do and provokes Jinxi's fury, seeing the two of them sitting quietly now makes Qing Xing full of suspicion. No.After asking a question, neither of them responded, Qing Xing carefully placed the food on the table, quietly exited and closed the cabin door.

Before leaving, Jinfeng said, as long as the girl doesn't bully Mr. Qin, it's fine. As for whether Mr. Qin bullies the girl...she didn't see anything!
"Eat it while it's hot!" The sound of closing the cabin door was not loud, but it still woke Jin Xi up.Embarrassedly picked up the chopsticks and handed them to Qin Xiao, speaking as calmly as possible.

Qin Xiao took the chopsticks but didn't hold the food. His eyes glanced at several plates of plain home-cooked dishes, and suddenly he pointed to a plate of tile fish and said, "I don't know how to pick fish bones."

"Then you eat something else!" Jin Xi couldn't laugh or cry at his blatant bullshit, is this guy really used to doling her around?

"I don't like anything else! This is the only one I can eat!" Qin Xiao seemed to be determined to command her, but seeing that Jinxi still didn't respond, he suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "You help me remove fishbone, I'll tell you You have a secret about you!"

"If you talk nonsense, I'll curse you not to eat fish for the rest of your life!" Jin Xi glared at him, then washed his hands helplessly and picked fish bones for Qin Xiao.It's not that she has a heart of gossip, but it's because she knows that if Qin is determined to make a fool of himself, she can't do anything about him.

The tile fish is marinated with herring pieces weighing tens of catties, and there are no small spines in the first place.Knowing that Qin Xiao is picky, Qing Xing specially ordered the cook to fry fish belly.Just pinch the big thorn in the middle of the fish piece, peel it lightly with chopsticks, and the crispy fried fish will come off as a whole.

Jin Xi doesn't like to apply impatiens juice on her nails, so her nails are always clean.Qin Xiao looked at the white and slender fingers in front of him nimbly twisting the chopsticks, flipping them left and right felt really nice, lowered his head to take the fish handed over by Jinxi, and the corners of his mouth curved upward uncontrollably.I am in a good mood, and even have a good appetite.

Although salty fried fish is best served with clear porridge, Qin Xiao still seems unsatisfied after eating a few bowls. Jinxi wonders if the fish he ate tastes better than the one he ate just now.

Doubtful in my heart, without even thinking about it, I stuffed the freshly peeled fish into my mouth.After tasting it, it was no different from the one I ate just now. Although it was crispy after all, it was marinated and lacked the unique umami taste of fish, so I can only say that it is not unpalatable.

Qin Xiao really did what he said, he didn't even touch the other dishes of the meal, he just stared at the plate of tile fish.After Jin Xi finished grilling the last piece of fish, he suddenly felt relieved, "It's too salty, let's eat less of this kind of pickled fish in the future!"

"Why?" Qin Xiao also felt uncomfortable. Anyone who eats two lunches within half an hour would probably feel uncomfortable.

"It's not good for your health!" Jin Xi couldn't explain to him the nutritional science of the later generations, so he could only pass it on in a vague way.Originally, she wanted to lighten the burden on herself, but a casual sentence prevented this dish from appearing in front of her for several years.

But this is something to say later, seeing Qin Xiao eating and drinking enough, leaning on the chair with a contented face and preparing to take a nap, Jin Xi cursed secretly, and he was really fooled, and said bitterly: "What's the secret you want to tell? "

"You really want to listen?" Qin Xiao tilted his face, and there was a rare look of solemnity in his eyes.

I thought that Qin Xiao's secret was just a pretense to manipulate her, but I didn't expect it to be true.It's just that this matter is related to her, and it has nothing to do with it.

"Zhao Tingxuan and Princess Ninth's marriage date has been set?" After a while, Jin Xi heard himself speak.The voice was far away and empty, so strange that even she couldn't be sure, was this voice full of shock and grievance really hers?
Although she had long heard that the Queen Mother was going to give Zhao Tingxuan and the Ninth Princess a marriage, but the decree of the marriage had not come down for a day, she naively thought that there might be a turning point for things.It's like hearing the sad news of the death of a close relative. If you don't see the body for a day, you will have a little unrealistic luck for a day, and you always think that someone else has passed on the news.

Unexpectedly... the dust has already settled!
Didn't Zhao Tingxuan say that he wants to be a famous official who will go down in history?
He can't even take a real job as a captain attached to a horse, and has a vain job in the Ministry of Rites. How can he be a famous minister through the ages?
All the family feuds, the family's expectations, and the ideals in life were all excuses!

It's all an excuse for him to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix!
