Chapter 56
Lu Xiaobai, who was suddenly kissed, covered his forehead with a red face. Hearing this, he subconsciously thought of what He Qin said last night when he bullied him, and hurriedly said: "Don't, you said last night that I'm still young and can't do it this month. Just wait and see."
He Qin: ...
Seeing He Qin speechless, Lu Xiaobai laughed instantly. When he was put on the bed, he deliberately rubbed He Qin's big brother, making He Qin smile under his gloomy face.
Before, he was afraid that He Qin would suddenly pounce on him and do something strange to him, but after experiencing what happened yesterday, he suddenly wasn't so afraid anymore.
And I like it very much. I even want to have more contact with He Qin. I like the feeling of skin-to-skin contact.
He Qin brought him shoes and put them on, then stroked his hair and said, "New Year's Eve is coming soon. When the road is dry in a few days, I'll take you to town to buy New Year's goods. Is there anything you want?"
"New Year's goods?"
Lu Xiaobai instantly became interested. In the past, his family was rich, and out of habit, the ingredients were all fresh, and they rarely stocked up in advance, even during the Chinese New Year.
But what he looks forward to most is that he will receive many gifts and red envelopes from his elders during the New Year.
But it’s different here. I won’t talk about food, but as for stockpiling and what I want, well…
Lu Xiaobai couldn't think of it for a while, because ancient things were a bit difficult to describe in words to him.
So, Lu Xiaobai thought about it for a while and then lost interest. He pouted and said, "I don't really want anything. Otherwise, I'd better buy more clothes. I want to wear something comfortable and not get dirty."
The clothes of country people are too monotonous. Moreover, because they need to be dirt-resistant and convenient for work, most of their clothes look the same. Not only are the colors ugly, but because they don’t have money to buy new ones, they have to wear them for a long time, and they become old and ugly.
Many clothes just look dirty, even after washing they are still dirty, Lu Xiaobai doesn't like that.
He Qin looked at the pale white clothes on Lu Xiaobai. Although the color was not bright, Lu Xiaobai was always careful and rarely let his clothes get stains that could not be washed off.
He Qin nodded: "Yeah."
It will be warmer in the spring next year, and the clothes we wear will become thinner and thinner. I will buy Xiaobai some more comfortable clothes then, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable again.
The rain just stopped today, and the roads outside are covered with mud. In addition, the work in the fields has been completed, so almost no one goes out, and everyone stays at home warming themselves by the fire.
Lu Xiaobai was even more bored today than yesterday. Although He Qin was with him, he was not talkative, so he could only eat roasted sweet potatoes in loneliness.
After eating the sweet potatoes, he thought of the beggar chicken in ancient costume TV dramas, but he didn't have a suitable chicken, so he could only take an egg, run to the yard, wrap it in mud, and then bury it in the hot ashes under the fire to roast it.
He Qin looked at his lively appearance and relaxed completely, leaning on the table beside him and closing his eyes to rest.
Lu Xiaobai only baked one egg. He looked up and remembered He Qin, so he ran to the kitchen to get an egg and went to the yard to wrap it in mud.
Lu Xiaobai squatted beside the bluestone slab, put the egg on the mud, and used a stick to try to pile the mud on the egg, but as he was doing so, a carriage appeared at the gate of the yard.
carriage!
Ox carts are a luxury here, and horse carriages are even more outrageous!
Lu Xiaobai looked outside in surprise, and after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out why the carriage came here.
It was not until a young man in gorgeous clothes and with a pale face came down from above that he remembered that He Zhou had said that a younger brother named Feng An was coming.
So this is Feng An?
Lu Xiaobai had forgotten what the etiquette of host and guest was. He stared blankly at Feng An and exclaimed in his heart: They are indeed a family, they both look so good.
Feng An got out of the car and stepped into the muddy ground. He couldn't even stand steadily. He was so scared that he stood there holding the car with one hand and holding his clothes with the other, not daring to move: "Oh my God, how could this happen? How can Brother Qin bear this? Quick, find something to cushion my feet."
The coachman hurried over from the other side, holding two wooden boards and laying them on the ground for Feng An to walk on.
Feng An stood on a wooden board, and the driver immediately took another wooden board and placed it in front of Feng An, repeating this process until they reached the bluestone slab.
Lu Xiaobai was stunned by Feng An's operation and subconsciously said, "But your shoes are already covered in mud. You can change into a clean pair here before going over. It will be more comfortable."
When the driver heard this, he hurried back to the car to get the luggage.
Feng An looked at his brother squatting on the ground playing with mud with a stick, turned his head away in disdain, and walked inside while calling sweetly: "Brother Qin? Brother Qin, Feng An is here to see you."
Lu Xiaobai:!!!
Why do these brothers and sisters in this family call each other in such a strange way?
Did you even call Brother Qin?
If you don’t know, you might think he is calling you “brother lover”.
Moreover, Feng An ignored him and despised him.
Lu Xiaobai looked down at himself. Although he was digging mud, there was no mud on his body!
No wonder Zhou Zhou said Feng An was not a good person. This is indeed not very pleasing.
Lu Xiaobai turned around and saw He Qin running out in a hurry. He unhappily picked up the wrapped eggs with two sticks and walked inside.
He Qin was worried that Lu Xiaobai would be angry, so he wanted to follow him, but Feng An grabbed his arm and said aggrievedly, "Brother Qin, I've traveled many days to get here. Please don't chase me away, okay?"
Although He Qin was unhappy, looking at his pale face, he still said in a deep voice: "Call the second brother, Ling Si, and take Feng An to the kitchen to rest."
Hearing He Qin's ruthless correction of his address, Feng An's eyes immediately turned red. He slowly lowered his head and asked in a choked voice, "Brother Qin, you are still blaming me, right?"
He Qin didn't want to talk to him, so he pushed him away and turned to walk towards Lu Xiaobai.
Feng An wanted to follow, but Ling Si stepped forward to stop him: "Young Master, please follow me."
Feng An looked at He Qin reluctantly, and followed Ling Si to the kitchen helplessly.
Lu Xiaobai took a stick and dug the egg out of the fire, and gently tapped the mud dried by the fire with the stick.
Lu Xiaobai didn't know whether eggs could be baked, so he did it because he was bored. But he didn't expect the result to be quite good. The eggs were cooked and smelled very fragrant.
Lu Xiaobai pouted as he peeled off the shell, broke the egg white, and handed the yolk to He Qin, saying, "Here you go."
He Qin stared at the egg yolk for a moment, then said, "I don't like Feng An."
"I know. Eat the yolk first."
Lu Xiaobai was very anxious because the egg yolk was a little hot, and he was wearing too many clothes. In addition, he was overworked last night, and his arms were tired from holding it like this.
He Qin didn't reach out to take it, but simply lowered his head and swallowed the egg yolk into his mouth, and licked Lu Xiaobai's fingers.
Lu Xiaobai stared blankly at the saliva on his hand, and raised his hand to wipe it on He Qin's chest in disgust: "Can you please stop licking my fingers, there's saliva on them."
He Qin: ...
Being with Lu Xiaobai, although He Qin felt that his patience and temper had improved, he still couldn't help wanting to deal with Lu Xiaobai.
But forget it, as long as Lu Xiaobai doesn’t misunderstand and is not angry.
As for Feng An, we can just send him away in a few days.
Feng An was standing at the kitchen door and happened to see the intimate actions of the two.
He tugged at his sleeve tightly, gritted his teeth and asked Ling Si, "Who is that guy, and why is he so close to Brother Qin?"
Not only does she feed Brother Qin, she also dares to wipe her hands on Brother Qin’s clothes. She is so bold!
Although Ling Si didn't want to hit Feng An, these were all facts, so he could only tell the truth: "She is the master's first wife."
"First wife?"
When Feng An heard this, tears immediately fell from his eyes. He asked with a smile: "If that lowly boy is Brother Qin's first wife, then what about me? What should I do?"
Ling Si didn't want to answer this question. After all, it was not appropriate for him to get involved in his master's affairs. He just told Feng An what He Qin had told him.
Ling Si: "The master said that Master Xiaobai must not be allowed to know his identity, and the villagers here must not know it. Otherwise, the rule that the queen of Nanhe Kingdom must be a member of the Feng family must be changed!"
After hearing the last sentence, Feng An looked at Ling Si in disbelief. After a long while, he asked in a trembling voice, "Is this true?"
Ling Si nodded: "Yes, the master also said that if the young master can't stand the life here, he can leave at any time."
Feng An returned to the kitchen with a dull look in her eyes, sat weakly on the stool, and cried softly as she thought about what had happened a few months ago.
In the shed outside, Lu Xiaobai finished eating the egg white and thought it tasted good. He picked up a stick and wanted to take out the one he had just buried and eat it.
But He Qin grabbed his hand and said, "It was just put in a short time ago, it's not cooked yet."
Lu Xiaobai said helplessly: "Okay then."
Giving up on eating the eggs, Lu Xiaobai curiously glanced towards the kitchen door and asked, "What on earth did Feng An do to make you feel sorry for him that you apologized as soon as you came."
Moreover, although Feng An was as beautiful as He Zhou, he always felt that Feng An was annoying. He didn't like her expression or words.
Especially when he spoke to He Qin, his voice was obedient and soft, and his eyes were somewhat weak and pitiful, the kind that any man would feel sorry for.
But Lu Xiaobai didn't like it. He didn't understand how brothers could talk like that. Was he a brother-lover?
And he also did something to let He Qin down. What was it?
Lu Xiaobai stared at He Qin closely, eager to know the answer.
He Qin didn't know how to tell Lu Xiaobai. After thinking for a while, he said, "The robbers who robbed my goods were found by him and my third brother together."
"ah?"
Lu Xiaobai opened his mouth in disbelief. After a few seconds, he finally reacted and became furious. "How dare he come to you to apologize? Send him away!"
If a businessman encounters robbers, he may lose money at best and even his life at worst. But they actually did such a thing. Even brothers cannot forgive them!
Lu Xiaobai puffed out his cheeks angrily. No wonder He Qin didn't want to go home. With a brother like that, if he were in his place, he wouldn't go back either.
Seeing Lu Xiaobai's angry look, He Qin felt warm in his heart and nodded, "I won't forgive him, and I will let him go. Don't worry."
Hearing this, Lu Xiaobai blushed uncomfortably, turned his head away and whispered, "You're talking nonsense, I won't worry about you."
