The ill-fitting collar was a bit loose, and if you wore it a little too close, you could even see what was underneath the robe.
Qin Zhao didn't even dare to turn his head. It was so difficult to cook for the first time.
Having been cooking for the villagers who had been helping build their houses, there wasn't much left at home. Qin Zhao didn't feel like cooking anything fancy today, so he simply stir-fried two dishes and steamed a plate of buns.
Jing Li was so hungry that his stomach was sticking to his back. He didn't care about the lack of meat and just lowered his head to eat.
His appetite increased a lot as he grew bigger. It wasn't as much as a farmer who had to work outside, but it was not small either.
Qin Zhao made some careful observations and had a rough idea of the family's daily food consumption in the future.
After eating and drinking, Qin Zhao was cleaning up the dishes by the stove, while Jing Li sat at the table with his chin in his hand, looking a little worried for a rare time.
He watched Qin Zhao's movements, pondered for a long time, and then called out with a guilty conscience, "Qin Zhao..."
"What?" Qin Zhao didn't even turn his head.
"Um... I want to ask a question, please don't be angry." Jing Li hesitated and said, "I don't want to break the contract just because I'm full. I'm just not sure, um... can you tell me, husband?
What does Lang mean?"
Qin Zhao's hands shook and he almost dropped the dishes on the ground.
"You said... you don't know what your husband means?" Qin Zhao asked, "Then you just..."
"I've never heard of this word..." Jing Li muttered softly, then added, "But no matter what it is, I will find a way to help you fulfill your wish. Trust me!"
Qin Zhao: “………………”
Qin Zhao was almost laughing because of him.
That's why the little guy thought about it for so long just now, not because he minded his impoliteness, nor because he was thinking about whether he should agree.
He just didn't understand what Qin Zhao meant.
Concubines were definitely not uncommon in this era. Even in more affluent places, homosexuality was prevalent. It was said that some princes and nobles would even give their male concubines to each other.
Qin Zhao had planned everything, but he didn't expect Xiaoyu to not understand the meaning of this word at all.
Qin Zhao, who could live easily in this unfamiliar mountain village, didn't know what to do with the person in front of him for the first time.
This guy is really...
Jing Li felt guilty and didn't dare to look at Qin Zhao's expression.
He hadn't lied just now. No matter what Qin Zhao asked for, he would do his best to help him achieve it. But in that situation, there was no chance for him to ask more questions.
What if Qin Zhao thought he was making an excuse and just drove him away?
First calm the person down, have a good meal together, and then have a calm chat.
Isn't the problem solved?
That’s what Jing Li thought.
After a long while, Qin Zhao spoke again: "Well, forget it if you don't know. Don't take it to heart."
"How can that be?" Jing Li disagreed, "I promised to help you, I must keep my word and not break it."
Qin Zhao knew his temper well and said calmly, "It's okay, I won't chase you away."
"……really?"
Qin Zhao: "Yeah, seriously."
"Thank you!"
Jing Li suddenly became happy.
If he were still in the form of a fish, he would probably be able to see the fish tail shaking wildly behind him.
Qin Zhao smiled helplessly.
What can I do? It was me who wanted to rescue this little guy in the first place.
Just bear with it yourself.
As for other things... there is still a long way to go.
.
Late at night, Qin Zhao was reading under the dim light as usual.
Jing Li curled up at the foot of the bed, hugging the quilt and yawning sleepily.
"Go to sleep if you're tired. No need to wait for me." Qin Zhao said without raising his head.
"Not sleepy." Jing Li rubbed his eyes, crawled to his desk, and looked over.
"What are you looking at?"
Qin Zhao said, "The Book of Zhou Rites."
