The Pregnant Little Groom of Time Travel
Chapter 27
27 Conspiracy Three
It was still early when Ji Haoxi came back from Chen Xucheng's place.Back in the side hall garden, Zhuo Ke and another boy named Xu Yuan were drawing dry firewood into a copper basin.
Ji Haoxi took the books and transcripts back to the room and put them away, and came out and asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhuo Ke is only 19 years old, but he looks much taller and stronger than Ji Haoxi, because Uncle Guan has taken special care of him, so Zhuo Ke looks at Ji Haoxi in a naive way.
"My family slaughtered sheep today, and I brought some mutton back. A Yuan said he wanted to roast it."
"Bake it?" Ji Haoxi looked back at Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan was very handsome, younger than Zhuo Ke, and Bai Bai was also small, looking like an underage child.
"But how do you bake without anything?"
"Hey." Zhuo Ke scratched his head, "It turned out that when I went hunting with my master, I saw that my master roasted it, and I wanted to try it."
Seeing Zhuo Ke's simple and honest appearance, Ji Haoxi couldn't help laughing too.
"Do you want me to help?" Ji Haoxi rolled up his sleeves and picked up the lamb.
"You will?" Xu Yuan kept looking at Ji Haoxi, and opened his mouth suspiciously when he saw Ji Haoxi bent down to pick up the meat on the ground.
I don't know if it was Ji Haoxi's delusion, but he felt that Xu Yuan had some opinion on him.But Ji Haoxi didn't care, because Xu Yuan looked like a high school student to Ji Haoxi, too young to care about.
So Ji Haoxi nodded at Xu Yuan with a gentle smile, and asked Zhuo Ke to ask Shen Jia for some carbon.
Ji Haoxi knew about Shen Jia's relationship with Uncle Guan, so he was not polite.
Zhuo Ke responded and went to look for Shen Jia, and Ji Haoxi walked to the back kitchen with the mutton.
There is no kitchen in the side hall, and the back kitchen was set up by the servants themselves, and it was also for heating.
Xu Yuan hesitantly followed Ji Haoxi to the kitchen, with a cold face, and did not speak or leave.
Ji Haoxi's face was the same, he washed the mutton and put it aside, then picked up an onion, peeled it, washed it and cut it in half.Then Xu Yuan was dumbfounded by the next action.
I saw Ji Haoxi pick up the kitchen knife deftly, flipped a few tricks in his hands casually and unpretentiously, only to hear the fast and even rhythm on the chopping board, and the whole onion instantly turned into strips of distinct sizes , and the other half became squares of uniform size.
Ji Haoxi divided the onions into plates, turned around and picked up a large bowl, picked up two more eggs from the vegetable basket Zhuo Ke brought back, smashed them skillfully, and then picked up the mutton carefully and evenly to start Little by little.
All movements are smooth and smooth.
Xu Yuan was stunned.
He had to admit that he felt that when Ji Haoxi was doing all that just now, the corners of Ji Haoxi's slightly pursed mouth, serious eyes, focused expression and a small white and strong forearm exposed on his wrist all expressed Ji Haoxi's body. An indescribable charm.
When Ji Haoxi was doing all this, Zhuo Ke came back with charcoal, and at the same time came Shen Jia and a little girl Ji Haoxi didn't know.
Shen Jia still held their dinner in her hand.
Seeing Ji Haoxi's handsome movements standing in the kitchen, Shen Jia couldn't help admiring him.
"Chef, do we want extra food tonight?"
Looking at Shen Jia's shining eyes, Ji Haoxi couldn't help feeling better.
"That's right. Ake, can you find the bamboo sticks?" Ji Haoxi didn't know if there were any bamboo sticks here but asked just to try.
"Bamboo stick?" Zhuo Ke really didn't know. "Skewers?" Zhuo Ke took out a piece of greased paper from a small hole under the stove, and when he opened it, it was full of bamboo sticks.
Ji Haoxi made a black line, indeed, barbecue is an ancient civilization, how could there be no bamboo sticks.
Thinking about it, Ji Haoxi handed the chopped onion and mutton to Shen Jia.
"Please string these up." Saying that, Ji Haoxi took the bamboo sticks to wash, and then came back to string them up for Shen Jia to demonstrate.
Shen Jia and the others had eaten mutton skewers before, but this was the first time Shen Jia had seen onion skewers.
"Seasoning." Ji Haoxi rolled his eyes. "Don't worry, it's absolutely delicious."
Seeing Ji Haoxi's beautiful eyes, Shen Yang also bent the corners of his eyes and nodded, and went out with the little girl Ji Haoxi didn't know, carrying things.
"What are you doing, Mr. Ji?" Zhuo Ke asked as he saw Ji Haoxi carrying the rice and walking towards the stove.
"Don't call him Mr. Ji." Ji Haoxi said without looking back, squatting down and lighting the fire. "Call me Haoxi."
Zhuo Ke didn't know what happened to Ji Haoxi, the voice that was full of joy just now suddenly sank.
I had no choice but to oh, and then pulled Xu Yuan, who was standing silently watching, out.
After Ji Haoxi finished heating the oil, he put all kinds of condiments out of the pot one by one, and several simple kitchen utensils were flying under his hands. After a while, a cumin mutton fried rice was ready.
Seeing that it would take some time to get the skewers outside, Ji Haoxi started to make some paste again and washed the lettuce in Zhuo Ke's basket.
After doing all this, Ji Haoxi went out and started preparing for the barbecue with Zhuo Ke.
In order to prevent others from seeing the bad influence, Shen Jia suggested to move the things farther away, and the five of them packed up all kinds of things and walked to an abandoned courtyard in the side hall.
I don't know what happened to the courtyard, but later it became a grocery warehouse.
Ji Haoxi and Zhuo Ke put the things on the shelf, and went back to move the table and stools. Shen Jia yelled happily when he saw the delicious cumin mutton fried rice in Ji Haoxi's kitchen.
By the time the fire is lit and the charcoal fire is burning, night has already fallen.
The two little girls, Shen Jia and Shen Ying (Ji Haoxi later learned that she was a sister of Shen Jia's clan), had already been sitting at the table, and there was a plate of grilled meat skewers on the table.
There was a small wine glass in front of Zhuo Ke drinking with Shen Jia. Shen Jia seemed to have known Zhuo Ke for a long time, and kept telling Shen Ying and Xu Yuan about the embarrassing things about Zhuo Ke when he first came to the palace.
The first time Zhuo Ke saw General Jing Shujing, he thought it was King Shen, and took King Yi as a liar, and ran to Uncle Guan to tell Chi Lieqian to steal wine from the palace.
"Isn't the master angry?" Xu Yuan, who had been eating silently at the side, suddenly asked.
This Ji Haoxi was also curious, so Ji Haoxi seemed to be seriously grilling, but quietly pricked up his ears.
Shen Jia got excited when she heard this, and she didn't know who she was speaking to: "Our master is in a good heart, and he seems to be very strict. When Uncle Guan's mother was sick, Uncle Guan didn't think about food or food. Yes, the master personally sent an imperial doctor to see Uncle Guan's mother. Otherwise, why do you think Uncle Guan has been loyal to the palace for so many years at such an old age?"
While speaking, he glanced at Ji Haoxi intentionally or unintentionally, and continued: "Our master just has a cold face. Of course, our master is a prince after all, and sometimes he might speak harshly when he is angry, but after so many years in the palace, have you seen us? Has the master ever been harsh on anyone?"
Hearing this, Ji Haoxi retracted his ears.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that Shen Jia said these words to him intentionally or unintentionally, so it was the best choice not to listen.
After hearing Shen Jia's words, Xu Yuan also intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the person sitting by the charcoal fire.
The servant's coarse linen clothes were neatly worn on that person, but there was always such an indescribable aura when he raised his hand and threw his feet. It is different from the clarity and cleanliness of ordinary people.The whole person looks refined and quiet, gentle and approachable.
Chi Li Fenghu and others sat in the Jinyu Tower for not a long time.
They did meet Xue Rennan and a group of other disciples there as Chiche Fenghu had expected, but they didn't expect Jin Zhe and Chiche Nanchen to be among them.
Chiche Nanchen is the second prince of Chicha, who has been weak and sick since he was a child, and has been recuperating by taking medicine all year round.However, he was talented and intelligent since he was a child, and he has read poetry and books. He is known as the head of the four great talents.
Chi Lie Feng Hu didn't expect to see Chi Lie Nanchen here, and the few of them were slightly taken aback at the same time, and then saluted immediately.
"Second brother." (Chicrack Fenghu)
"Second brother." (Chi Liqianqi)
"See the second prince." (Jing Shu)
"See the second prince." (Jia Gule)
Then another group of people stood up to salute Chi Lie Fenghu and Chi Lie Qianqi, and General Tong Jing and Jia Gule exchanged polite greetings.
Chiche Nanchen's face was a little pale, although the sun was very sunny today, Chiche Nanchen wore a lot of clothes, and it seemed that his body was still in poor condition.
"I wanted to pay New Year's greetings to my second brother tomorrow, but I didn't expect to meet my second brother here today."
Chiche Nanchen nodded.
"Staying in the mansion is boring, come out to get some air."
Both Chiche Nanchen and Jin Zhe were there, and they couldn't speak some of the words they had prepared.
But Chi Lieqianqi still pretended to inadvertently mention the past while talking and laughing with everyone, and Wen Qixing's name was mixed in.
Chiche Fenghu lowered his head to drink tea, and Chiche Nanchen coughed dryly.
Jing Shu calmly took the faces of the group of people into his eyes, then raised his head and changed the subject in a timely manner.
Chi Lie Nanchen's health was not good, and he left without sitting for a while, accompanied by his guards.
After Chi Lie Nanchen left, Chi Lie Feng Hu also greeted Jin Zhe, and then pretended to casually glance at Xue Rennan and left.
Chi Lianqian yelled and insisted on listening to the song, and kept tossing Chi Lianfeng, who was a little bit brainy, and finally got rid of Chi Lianqian and came back alone.
Because today is the first day of the new year, many servants are on holiday.
After the red cracked maple entered the door, her footsteps uncontrollably took a long detour, and came to the garden of the side hall.
The bright red lanterns were hung festively on the side hall, but there was no one in the room.
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of aroma of barbecue, mixed with a little laughter.
Chi Crack Fenghu frowned, and walked along the scent without thinking.
Ji Haoxi sat by the firelight, the red firelight reflected on Ji Haoxi's body, his little face was flushed, and two clusters of small flames danced joyfully in his clear eyes.
Zhuo Ke drank until he was happy, raised his wine glass and surrounded Ji Haoxi: "It's the first time you said that someone will accompany you to celebrate the New Year, no, you must have a drink!" Zhuo Ke made a fuss, pulling Ji Haoxi to force him Have a drink.
Ji Haoxi's drunken appearance before was still fresh in his memory, and he refused to live or die. The two little girls, Shen Jia and Shen Ying, were amused by the appearance of Ji Haoxi and Zhuo Ke.
"Master!" Xu Yuan's panicked voice brought everyone present back to their sights.
"Xu, Xu Yuan didn't know that the master is here, please forgive me!" Xu Yuan seemed to be half panicked as he said this, and then turned to the red cracked maple to protect him.
This apology also successfully pulled Chi Li Fenghu's sight away.
Ji Haoxi was taken aback when he heard this sound, and when he raised his head, he found that Chiche Fenghu didn't look at him. He hid his little strange emotions, and knelt on the ground together with Zhuo Ke.
Hearing greetings from several people, in Chi Lifeng's ears, he felt that Ji Haoxi's voice was particularly distinct and... unwilling?
Chi Crack Fenghu turned his gaze back to Ji Haoxi's body again, and found that the other party's head was lowered, motionless, as if he didn't want to see him.
"Why, you don't welcome me?" Chi Li Fenghu's voice was not pleasant, and she said lightly in Ji Haoxi's direction.
Although Zhuo Ke is stupid, he is not stupid.
"Don't dare." Ji Haoxi's voice was muffled.
"Then bring me one." As he said that, Chi Lifeng took a stool and sat aside.
This……
Shen Jia was taken aback for a moment, and played tricks on Shen Ying, telling her to go to Uncle Guan.
"Come back and sit down!" Chi Crack Feng Hu said coldly as if she had eyes behind her back, and Shen Ying abruptly retracted her foot that had taken a step forward.
Before the group of people could react, Xu Yuan's small voice sounded: "Then... thank you, master." After saying that, he sat not far from Chichuang Fenghu.
Shen Jia glanced at Xu Yuan meaningfully, ran to Ji Haoxi's side on purpose and said, "Haoxi, go and sit down, you have roasted all night, and you haven't even drank your saliva yet."
Ji Haoxi looked at Shen Jia in embarrassment, he really wanted to say that he didn't want to go there at all, but he didn't dare to say that, so he kept saying that it doesn't matter if I'm not hungry.
Unexpectedly, Shen Jia deliberately took advantage of Ji Haoxi's unpreparedness, and pulled Ji Haoxi hard, pretending to confiscate it with strength, and dragged Ji Haoxi straight to the direction of Chi Lifeng.
Seeing Shen Jia's small movements, Chi Lifenghu felt a little joy in his heart, and then stretched out his hand to support Ji Haoxi in one go, and then frowned, why did he wear so little?
When Chicrack Fenghu held Ji Haoxi's arm, Ji Haoxi's body froze, he got up quickly, and distanced himself from Chicrack Fenghu.
Chichuang Fenghu was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Xu Yuan saw that all of Chirifenghu's eyes were on Ji Haoxi, feeling a little unhappy, and said in a timely manner: "Master, there is no good wine here, would you like some?"
Chi cracked maple guard looked a little dissatisfied at the little boy who tried to get his attention again and again, but found that the other party seemed to have worked hard to boldly meet his gaze. Suddenly, Chi cracked maple guard's eyes sank, as if understand what.
Chichuang Fenghu looked at Xu Yuan with great interest, and didn't take it when he saw Xu Yuan holding the wine glass. He just asked, "You said just now, what's your name?"
Xu Yuan was shocked, his eyes were stained with a layer of joy that he was trying to hide, and he said tremblingly: "Little, the villain's name is Xu Yuan."
"Xu Yuan." Chi Li Fenghu said in a deep voice: "Good name. Would you like to have a drink with me?"
Xu Yuan trembled a little, he could hardly hold the wine glass with his hand. "Yes, can I?"
"Ha ha." Chi Li Fenghu smiled lowly and sexy. "Come, come to this king."
Ji Haoxi stood aside, his clear eyes moved a little, and finally he just lowered his head and walked back to his original position silently, taking over the things that Shen Jia was in a hurry but couldn't cook well.
"I'll do it." He said softly, without any emotion in his voice.
Shen Jia looked at her master anxiously, not knowing what kind of game her master was playing, what was he doing pulling that not-so-good Xu Yuan to his side when he was obviously old.
Thinking of this, Shen Jia seemed sure that his master would not do anything to her tonight, and deliberately walked to Ji Haoxi's side and said in a crisp voice: "Master Ji, let me accompany you, anyway, today is the New Year, you didn't Thank you also for spending the first New Year's Eve with you without being alone, so it's better to have two people come together for barbecue!"
Ji Haoxi's fingertips were slightly sore, but after hearing Shen Jia's words, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, seeing that Shen Jia had good intentions, he couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth to Shen Jia in a doting and grateful manner.
"Thank you, Jiajia."
Shen Jia looked at Ji Haoxi's warm but somewhat fragile smile, and remembered that this person had been facing the air alone during the New Year for so many years, and his eyes couldn't help turning red.She hurriedly lowered her head and let out a "huh" forcefully.
Chi Crack Fenghu just wanted to see if Ji Haoxi really had a crush on him. When he saw him pull Xu Yuan over, Ji Haoxi's face, which was obviously lonely but tried to hide his emotions, just felt a little happy in his heart, but The joy that was immediately torn away by what Shen Jia said next.
Damn it, he would never admit that looking at the slightly raised and weak corners of his mouth would make him feel distressed.
And that damn eyes, why did he look at Shen Jia with those eyes?
Chi Crack Fenghu suddenly didn't want to see this person, he didn't know what else he could do, and he didn't want to do something that he regretted afterwards.
He put down his wine glass heavily, startling Xu Yuan who was sitting beside him.
This sudden change can't help frightening Xu Yuan and everyone.
Chi Li Fenghu stood up, gave Ji Haoxi a meaningful look, and walked away with a sullen face without saying a word.
"My lord!" Xu Yuan yelled after him unwillingly, as if he suddenly understood something, he gave Ji Haoxi a resentful look, and flung himself back.
"Hey, hey!" Shen Jia looked at Xu Yuan's small eyes, and her temper suddenly became violent. "Xu—"
"Jia Jia." Ji Haoxi hadn't recovered from the last disgusted look in Chi Lifeng's eyes, but subconsciously didn't want to see any changes.
"Master Ji!" Shen Jia complained.
"Come on, let's continue eating." Ji Haoxi put away those confused thoughts, as if nothing happened just now. "Didn't you say you would spend the New Year with me?"
Seeing Ji Haoxi like this, Shen Jia was really furious.
It's okay for the prince to be stubborn.I really don't know what Ji Haoxi is being stubborn about, why must he be like this when he admits his mistake or takes the initiative to say something and it's over.
Is this person just not taking himself seriously?
Or are you taking yourself too seriously!
But although Shen Jia was angry, it was because she felt sorry for Ji Haoxi.
"Don't eat!" After all, she was still a 15-year-old girl. "Eat it yourself!"
Seeing Shen Jia leave, Zhuo Ke seemed a little anxious, and followed behind, shouting "Jia Jia? Jia Jia!" But he felt that it was not good to leave Ji Haoxi here, so he hesitated.
I can understand Zhuo Ke's mind.
"Go." Ji Haoxi said gently.
Zhuo Ke and Shen Yao also left one after another.
Watching Zhuo Ke and Shen Yao leave, the dilapidated small courtyard became quiet again.
Listening to the sound of crackling sparks, Ji Haoxi looked at the mess all over the floor and sighed.
Still, alone.
"Heh." Ji Haoxi didn't know what he was laughing at, and began to bend down to pack his things.
Then the sound of a tree branch being trampled off caught his attention, but before he could turn around, he suddenly felt a dull pain in the back of his head, a figure flashed in front of his eyes, and his thoughts went dark——
27 Conspiracy Three
It was still early when Ji Haoxi came back from Chen Xucheng's place.Back in the side hall garden, Zhuo Ke and another boy named Xu Yuan were drawing dry firewood into a copper basin.

When Ji Haoxi was doing all this, Zhuo Ke came back with charcoal, and at the same time came Shen Jia and a little girl Ji Haoxi didn't know.
Shen Jia still held their dinner in her hand.
Seeing Ji Haoxi's handsome movements standing in the kitchen, Shen Jia couldn't help admiring him.
"Chef, do we want extra food tonight?"

"See the second prince." (Jing Shu)
"See the second prince." (Jia Gule)
Then another group of people stood up to salute Chi Lie Fenghu and Chi Lie Qianqi, and General Tong Jing and Jia Gule exchanged polite greetings.
Chiche Nanchen's face was a little pale, although the sun was very sunny today, Chiche Nanchen wore a lot of clothes, and it seemed that his body was still in poor condition.
"I wanted to pay New Year's greetings to my second brother tomorrow, but I didn't expect to meet my second brother here today."

Shen Jia was taken aback for a moment, and played tricks on Shen Ying, telling her to go to Uncle Guan.
"Come back and sit down!" Chi Crack Feng Hu said coldly as if she had eyes behind her back, and Shen Ying abruptly retracted her foot that had taken a step forward.
Before the group of people could react, Xu Yuan's small voice sounded: "Then... thank you, master." After saying that, he sat not far from Chichuang Fenghu.
Shen Jia glanced at Xu Yuan meaningfully, ran to Ji Haoxi's side on purpose and said, "Haoxi, go and sit down, you have roasted all night, and you haven't even drank your saliva yet."
Ji Haoxi looked at Shen Jia in embarrassment, he really wanted to say that he didn't want to go there at all, but he didn't dare to say that, so he kept saying that it doesn't matter if I'm not hungry.
Unexpectedly, Shen Jia deliberately took advantage of Ji Haoxi's unpreparedness, and pulled Ji Haoxi hard, pretending to confiscate it with strength, and dragged Ji Haoxi straight to the direction of Chi Lifeng.
Seeing Shen Jia's small movements, Chi Lifenghu felt a little joy in his heart, and then stretched out his hand to support Ji Haoxi in one go, and then frowned, why did he wear so little?
When Chicrack Fenghu held Ji Haoxi's arm, Ji Haoxi's body froze, he got up quickly, and distanced himself from Chicrack Fenghu.
Chichuang Fenghu was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Xu Yuan saw that all of Chirifenghu's eyes were on Ji Haoxi, feeling a little unhappy, and said in a timely manner: "Master, there is no good wine here, would you like some?"
Chi cracked maple guard looked a little dissatisfied at the little boy who tried to get his attention again and again, but found that the other party seemed to have worked hard to boldly meet his gaze. Suddenly, Chi cracked maple guard's eyes sank, as if understand what.
Chichuang Fenghu looked at Xu Yuan with great interest, and didn't take it when he saw Xu Yuan holding the wine glass. He just asked, "You said just now, what's your name?"
Xu Yuan was shocked, his eyes were stained with a layer of joy that he was trying to hide, and he said tremblingly: "Little, the villain's name is Xu Yuan."
"Xu Yuan." Chi Li Fenghu said in a deep voice: "Good name. Would you like to have a drink with me?"
Xu Yuan trembled a little, he could hardly hold the wine glass with his hand. "Yes, can I?"
"Ha ha." Chi Li Fenghu smiled lowly and sexy. "Come, come to this king."
Ji Haoxi stood aside, his clear eyes moved a little, and finally he just lowered his head and walked back to his original position silently, taking over the things that Shen Jia was in a hurry but couldn't cook well.
"I'll do it." He said softly, without any emotion in his voice.
Shen Jia looked at her master anxiously, not knowing what kind of game her master was playing, what was he doing pulling that not-so-good Xu Yuan to his side when he was obviously old.
Thinking of this, Shen Jia seemed sure that his master would not do anything to her tonight, and deliberately walked to Ji Haoxi's side and said in a crisp voice: "Master Ji, let me accompany you, anyway, today is the New Year, you didn't Thank you also for being with you for the first time not alone in the new year
It was still early when Ji Haoxi came back from Chen Xucheng's place.Back in the side hall garden, Zhuo Ke and another boy named Xu Yuan were drawing dry firewood into a copper basin.
Ji Haoxi took the books and transcripts back to the room and put them away, and came out and asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhuo Ke is only 19 years old, but he looks much taller and stronger than Ji Haoxi, because Uncle Guan has taken special care of him, so Zhuo Ke looks at Ji Haoxi in a naive way.
"My family slaughtered sheep today, and I brought some mutton back. A Yuan said he wanted to roast it."
"Bake it?" Ji Haoxi looked back at Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan was very handsome, younger than Zhuo Ke, and Bai Bai was also small, looking like an underage child.
"But how do you bake without anything?"
"Hey." Zhuo Ke scratched his head, "It turned out that when I went hunting with my master, I saw that my master roasted it, and I wanted to try it."
Seeing Zhuo Ke's simple and honest appearance, Ji Haoxi couldn't help laughing too.
"Do you want me to help?" Ji Haoxi rolled up his sleeves and picked up the lamb.
"You will?" Xu Yuan kept looking at Ji Haoxi, and opened his mouth suspiciously when he saw Ji Haoxi bent down to pick up the meat on the ground.
I don't know if it was Ji Haoxi's delusion, but he felt that Xu Yuan had some opinion on him.But Ji Haoxi didn't care, because Xu Yuan looked like a high school student to Ji Haoxi, too young to care about.
So Ji Haoxi nodded at Xu Yuan with a gentle smile, and asked Zhuo Ke to ask Shen Jia for some carbon.
Ji Haoxi knew about Shen Jia's relationship with Uncle Guan, so he was not polite.
Zhuo Ke responded and went to look for Shen Jia, and Ji Haoxi walked to the back kitchen with the mutton.
There is no kitchen in the side hall, and the back kitchen was set up by the servants themselves, and it was also for heating.
Xu Yuan hesitantly followed Ji Haoxi to the kitchen, with a cold face, and did not speak or leave.
Ji Haoxi's face was the same, he washed the mutton and put it aside, then picked up an onion, peeled it, washed it and cut it in half.Then Xu Yuan was dumbfounded by the next action.
I saw Ji Haoxi pick up the kitchen knife deftly, flipped a few tricks in his hands casually and unpretentiously, only to hear the fast and even rhythm on the chopping board, and the whole onion instantly turned into strips of distinct sizes , and the other half became squares of uniform size.
Ji Haoxi divided the onions into plates, turned around and picked up a large bowl, picked up two more eggs from the vegetable basket Zhuo Ke brought back, smashed them skillfully, and then picked up the mutton carefully and evenly to start Little by little.
All movements are smooth and smooth.
Xu Yuan was stunned.
He had to admit that he felt that when Ji Haoxi was doing all that just now, the corners of Ji Haoxi's slightly pursed mouth, serious eyes, focused expression and a small white and strong forearm exposed on his wrist all expressed Ji Haoxi's body. An indescribable charm.
When Ji Haoxi was doing all this, Zhuo Ke came back with charcoal, and at the same time came Shen Jia and a little girl Ji Haoxi didn't know.
Shen Jia still held their dinner in her hand.
Seeing Ji Haoxi's handsome movements standing in the kitchen, Shen Jia couldn't help admiring him.
"Chef, do we want extra food tonight?"
Looking at Shen Jia's shining eyes, Ji Haoxi couldn't help feeling better.
"That's right. Ake, can you find the bamboo sticks?" Ji Haoxi didn't know if there were any bamboo sticks here but asked just to try.
"Bamboo stick?" Zhuo Ke really didn't know. "Skewers?" Zhuo Ke took out a piece of greased paper from a small hole under the stove, and when he opened it, it was full of bamboo sticks.
Ji Haoxi made a black line, indeed, barbecue is an ancient civilization, how could there be no bamboo sticks.
Thinking about it, Ji Haoxi handed the chopped onion and mutton to Shen Jia.
"Please string these up." Saying that, Ji Haoxi took the bamboo sticks to wash, and then came back to string them up for Shen Jia to demonstrate.
Shen Jia and the others had eaten mutton skewers before, but this was the first time Shen Jia had seen onion skewers.
"Seasoning." Ji Haoxi rolled his eyes. "Don't worry, it's absolutely delicious."
Seeing Ji Haoxi's beautiful eyes, Shen Yang also bent the corners of his eyes and nodded, and went out with the little girl Ji Haoxi didn't know, carrying things.
"What are you doing, Mr. Ji?" Zhuo Ke asked as he saw Ji Haoxi carrying the rice and walking towards the stove.
"Don't call him Mr. Ji." Ji Haoxi said without looking back, squatting down and lighting the fire. "Call me Haoxi."
Zhuo Ke didn't know what happened to Ji Haoxi, the voice that was full of joy just now suddenly sank.
I had no choice but to oh, and then pulled Xu Yuan, who was standing silently watching, out.
After Ji Haoxi finished heating the oil, he put all kinds of condiments out of the pot one by one, and several simple kitchen utensils were flying under his hands. After a while, a cumin mutton fried rice was ready.
Seeing that it would take some time to get the skewers outside, Ji Haoxi started to make some paste again and washed the lettuce in Zhuo Ke's basket.
After doing all this, Ji Haoxi went out and started preparing for the barbecue with Zhuo Ke.
In order to prevent others from seeing the bad influence, Shen Jia suggested to move the things farther away, and the five of them packed up all kinds of things and walked to an abandoned courtyard in the side hall.
I don't know what happened to the courtyard, but later it became a grocery warehouse.
Ji Haoxi and Zhuo Ke put the things on the shelf, and went back to move the table and stools. Shen Jia yelled happily when he saw the delicious cumin mutton fried rice in Ji Haoxi's kitchen.
By the time the fire is lit and the charcoal fire is burning, night has already fallen.
The two little girls, Shen Jia and Shen Ying (Ji Haoxi later learned that she was a sister of Shen Jia's clan), had already been sitting at the table, and there was a plate of grilled meat skewers on the table.
There was a small wine glass in front of Zhuo Ke drinking with Shen Jia. Shen Jia seemed to have known Zhuo Ke for a long time, and kept telling Shen Ying and Xu Yuan about the embarrassing things about Zhuo Ke when he first came to the palace.
The first time Zhuo Ke saw General Jing Shujing, he thought it was King Shen, and took King Yi as a liar, and ran to Uncle Guan to tell Chi Lieqian to steal wine from the palace.
"Isn't the master angry?" Xu Yuan, who had been eating silently at the side, suddenly asked.
This Ji Haoxi was also curious, so Ji Haoxi seemed to be seriously grilling, but quietly pricked up his ears.
Shen Jia got excited when she heard this, and she didn't know who she was speaking to: "Our master is in a good heart, and he seems to be very strict. When Uncle Guan's mother was sick, Uncle Guan didn't think about food or food. Yes, the master personally sent an imperial doctor to see Uncle Guan's mother. Otherwise, why do you think Uncle Guan has been loyal to the palace for so many years at such an old age?"
While speaking, he glanced at Ji Haoxi intentionally or unintentionally, and continued: "Our master just has a cold face. Of course, our master is a prince after all, and sometimes he might speak harshly when he is angry, but after so many years in the palace, have you seen us? Has the master ever been harsh on anyone?"
Hearing this, Ji Haoxi retracted his ears.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that Shen Jia said these words to him intentionally or unintentionally, so it was the best choice not to listen.
After hearing Shen Jia's words, Xu Yuan also intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the person sitting by the charcoal fire.
The servant's coarse linen clothes were neatly worn on that person, but there was always such an indescribable aura when he raised his hand and threw his feet. It is different from the clarity and cleanliness of ordinary people.The whole person looks refined and quiet, gentle and approachable.
Chi Li Fenghu and others sat in the Jinyu Tower for not a long time.
They did meet Xue Rennan and a group of other disciples there as Chiche Fenghu had expected, but they didn't expect Jin Zhe and Chiche Nanchen to be among them.
Chiche Nanchen is the second prince of Chicha, who has been weak and sick since he was a child, and has been recuperating by taking medicine all year round.However, he was talented and intelligent since he was a child, and he has read poetry and books. He is known as the head of the four great talents.
Chi Lie Feng Hu didn't expect to see Chi Lie Nanchen here, and the few of them were slightly taken aback at the same time, and then saluted immediately.
"Second brother." (Chicrack Fenghu)
"Second brother." (Chi Liqianqi)
"See the second prince." (Jing Shu)
"See the second prince." (Jia Gule)
Then another group of people stood up to salute Chi Lie Fenghu and Chi Lie Qianqi, and General Tong Jing and Jia Gule exchanged polite greetings.
Chiche Nanchen's face was a little pale, although the sun was very sunny today, Chiche Nanchen wore a lot of clothes, and it seemed that his body was still in poor condition.
"I wanted to pay New Year's greetings to my second brother tomorrow, but I didn't expect to meet my second brother here today."
Chiche Nanchen nodded.
"Staying in the mansion is boring, come out to get some air."
Both Chiche Nanchen and Jin Zhe were there, and they couldn't speak some of the words they had prepared.
But Chi Lieqianqi still pretended to inadvertently mention the past while talking and laughing with everyone, and Wen Qixing's name was mixed in.
Chiche Fenghu lowered his head to drink tea, and Chiche Nanchen coughed dryly.
Jing Shu calmly took the faces of the group of people into his eyes, then raised his head and changed the subject in a timely manner.
Chi Lie Nanchen's health was not good, and he left without sitting for a while, accompanied by his guards.
After Chi Lie Nanchen left, Chi Lie Feng Hu also greeted Jin Zhe, and then pretended to casually glance at Xue Rennan and left.
Chi Lianqian yelled and insisted on listening to the song, and kept tossing Chi Lianfeng, who was a little bit brainy, and finally got rid of Chi Lianqian and came back alone.
Because today is the first day of the new year, many servants are on holiday.
After the red cracked maple entered the door, her footsteps uncontrollably took a long detour, and came to the garden of the side hall.
The bright red lanterns were hung festively on the side hall, but there was no one in the room.
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of aroma of barbecue, mixed with a little laughter.
Chi Crack Fenghu frowned, and walked along the scent without thinking.
Ji Haoxi sat by the firelight, the red firelight reflected on Ji Haoxi's body, his little face was flushed, and two clusters of small flames danced joyfully in his clear eyes.
Zhuo Ke drank until he was happy, raised his wine glass and surrounded Ji Haoxi: "It's the first time you said that someone will accompany you to celebrate the New Year, no, you must have a drink!" Zhuo Ke made a fuss, pulling Ji Haoxi to force him Have a drink.
Ji Haoxi's drunken appearance before was still fresh in his memory, and he refused to live or die. The two little girls, Shen Jia and Shen Ying, were amused by the appearance of Ji Haoxi and Zhuo Ke.
"Master!" Xu Yuan's panicked voice brought everyone present back to their sights.
"Xu, Xu Yuan didn't know that the master is here, please forgive me!" Xu Yuan seemed to be half panicked as he said this, and then turned to the red cracked maple to protect him.
This apology also successfully pulled Chi Li Fenghu's sight away.
Ji Haoxi was taken aback when he heard this sound, and when he raised his head, he found that Chiche Fenghu didn't look at him. He hid his little strange emotions, and knelt on the ground together with Zhuo Ke.
Hearing greetings from several people, in Chi Lifeng's ears, he felt that Ji Haoxi's voice was particularly distinct and... unwilling?
Chi Crack Fenghu turned his gaze back to Ji Haoxi's body again, and found that the other party's head was lowered, motionless, as if he didn't want to see him.
"Why, you don't welcome me?" Chi Li Fenghu's voice was not pleasant, and she said lightly in Ji Haoxi's direction.
Although Zhuo Ke is stupid, he is not stupid.
"Don't dare." Ji Haoxi's voice was muffled.
"Then bring me one." As he said that, Chi Lifeng took a stool and sat aside.
This……
Shen Jia was taken aback for a moment, and played tricks on Shen Ying, telling her to go to Uncle Guan.
"Come back and sit down!" Chi Crack Feng Hu said coldly as if she had eyes behind her back, and Shen Ying abruptly retracted her foot that had taken a step forward.
Before the group of people could react, Xu Yuan's small voice sounded: "Then... thank you, master." After saying that, he sat not far from Chichuang Fenghu.
Shen Jia glanced at Xu Yuan meaningfully, ran to Ji Haoxi's side on purpose and said, "Haoxi, go and sit down, you have roasted all night, and you haven't even drank your saliva yet."
Ji Haoxi looked at Shen Jia in embarrassment, he really wanted to say that he didn't want to go there at all, but he didn't dare to say that, so he kept saying that it doesn't matter if I'm not hungry.
Unexpectedly, Shen Jia deliberately took advantage of Ji Haoxi's unpreparedness, and pulled Ji Haoxi hard, pretending to confiscate it with strength, and dragged Ji Haoxi straight to the direction of Chi Lifeng.
Seeing Shen Jia's small movements, Chi Lifenghu felt a little joy in his heart, and then stretched out his hand to support Ji Haoxi in one go, and then frowned, why did he wear so little?
When Chicrack Fenghu held Ji Haoxi's arm, Ji Haoxi's body froze, he got up quickly, and distanced himself from Chicrack Fenghu.
Chichuang Fenghu was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Xu Yuan saw that all of Chirifenghu's eyes were on Ji Haoxi, feeling a little unhappy, and said in a timely manner: "Master, there is no good wine here, would you like some?"
Chi cracked maple guard looked a little dissatisfied at the little boy who tried to get his attention again and again, but found that the other party seemed to have worked hard to boldly meet his gaze. Suddenly, Chi cracked maple guard's eyes sank, as if understand what.
Chichuang Fenghu looked at Xu Yuan with great interest, and didn't take it when he saw Xu Yuan holding the wine glass. He just asked, "You said just now, what's your name?"
Xu Yuan was shocked, his eyes were stained with a layer of joy that he was trying to hide, and he said tremblingly: "Little, the villain's name is Xu Yuan."
"Xu Yuan." Chi Li Fenghu said in a deep voice: "Good name. Would you like to have a drink with me?"
Xu Yuan trembled a little, he could hardly hold the wine glass with his hand. "Yes, can I?"
"Ha ha." Chi Li Fenghu smiled lowly and sexy. "Come, come to this king."
Ji Haoxi stood aside, his clear eyes moved a little, and finally he just lowered his head and walked back to his original position silently, taking over the things that Shen Jia was in a hurry but couldn't cook well.
"I'll do it." He said softly, without any emotion in his voice.
Shen Jia looked at her master anxiously, not knowing what kind of game her master was playing, what was he doing pulling that not-so-good Xu Yuan to his side when he was obviously old.
Thinking of this, Shen Jia seemed sure that his master would not do anything to her tonight, and deliberately walked to Ji Haoxi's side and said in a crisp voice: "Master Ji, let me accompany you, anyway, today is the New Year, you didn't Thank you also for spending the first New Year's Eve with you without being alone, so it's better to have two people come together for barbecue!"
Ji Haoxi's fingertips were slightly sore, but after hearing Shen Jia's words, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, seeing that Shen Jia had good intentions, he couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth to Shen Jia in a doting and grateful manner.
"Thank you, Jiajia."
Shen Jia looked at Ji Haoxi's warm but somewhat fragile smile, and remembered that this person had been facing the air alone during the New Year for so many years, and his eyes couldn't help turning red.She hurriedly lowered her head and let out a "huh" forcefully.
Chi Crack Fenghu just wanted to see if Ji Haoxi really had a crush on him. When he saw him pull Xu Yuan over, Ji Haoxi's face, which was obviously lonely but tried to hide his emotions, just felt a little happy in his heart, but The joy that was immediately torn away by what Shen Jia said next.
Damn it, he would never admit that looking at the slightly raised and weak corners of his mouth would make him feel distressed.
And that damn eyes, why did he look at Shen Jia with those eyes?
Chi Crack Fenghu suddenly didn't want to see this person, he didn't know what else he could do, and he didn't want to do something that he regretted afterwards.
He put down his wine glass heavily, startling Xu Yuan who was sitting beside him.
This sudden change can't help frightening Xu Yuan and everyone.
Chi Li Fenghu stood up, gave Ji Haoxi a meaningful look, and walked away with a sullen face without saying a word.
"My lord!" Xu Yuan yelled after him unwillingly, as if he suddenly understood something, he gave Ji Haoxi a resentful look, and flung himself back.
"Hey, hey!" Shen Jia looked at Xu Yuan's small eyes, and her temper suddenly became violent. "Xu—"
"Jia Jia." Ji Haoxi hadn't recovered from the last disgusted look in Chi Lifeng's eyes, but subconsciously didn't want to see any changes.
"Master Ji!" Shen Jia complained.
"Come on, let's continue eating." Ji Haoxi put away those confused thoughts, as if nothing happened just now. "Didn't you say you would spend the New Year with me?"
Seeing Ji Haoxi like this, Shen Jia was really furious.
It's okay for the prince to be stubborn.I really don't know what Ji Haoxi is being stubborn about, why must he be like this when he admits his mistake or takes the initiative to say something and it's over.
Is this person just not taking himself seriously?
Or are you taking yourself too seriously!
But although Shen Jia was angry, it was because she felt sorry for Ji Haoxi.
"Don't eat!" After all, she was still a 15-year-old girl. "Eat it yourself!"
Seeing Shen Jia leave, Zhuo Ke seemed a little anxious, and followed behind, shouting "Jia Jia? Jia Jia!" But he felt that it was not good to leave Ji Haoxi here, so he hesitated.
I can understand Zhuo Ke's mind.
"Go." Ji Haoxi said gently.
Zhuo Ke and Shen Yao also left one after another.
Watching Zhuo Ke and Shen Yao leave, the dilapidated small courtyard became quiet again.
Listening to the sound of crackling sparks, Ji Haoxi looked at the mess all over the floor and sighed.
Still, alone.
"Heh." Ji Haoxi didn't know what he was laughing at, and began to bend down to pack his things.
Then the sound of a tree branch being trampled off caught his attention, but before he could turn around, he suddenly felt a dull pain in the back of his head, a figure flashed in front of his eyes, and his thoughts went dark——
27 Conspiracy Three
It was still early when Ji Haoxi came back from Chen Xucheng's place.Back in the side hall garden, Zhuo Ke and another boy named Xu Yuan were drawing dry firewood into a copper basin.
Ji Haoxi took the books and transcripts back to the room and put them away, and came out and asked, "What are you doing?"

All movements are smooth and smooth.
Xu Yuan was stunned.
He had to admit that he felt that when Ji Haoxi was doing all that just now, the corners of Ji Haoxi's slightly pursed mouth, serious eyes, focused expression and a small white and strong forearm exposed on his wrist all expressed Ji Haoxi's body. An indescribable charm.
When Ji Haoxi was doing all this, Zhuo Ke came back with charcoal, and at the same time came Shen Jia and a little girl Ji Haoxi didn't know.
Shen Jia still held their dinner in her hand.
Seeing Ji Haoxi's handsome movements standing in the kitchen, Shen Jia couldn't help admiring him.
"Chef, do we want extra food tonight?"
Looking at Shen Jia's shining eyes, Ji Haoxi couldn't help feeling better.
"That's right. Ake, can you find the bamboo sticks?" Ji Haoxi didn't know if there were any bamboo sticks here but asked just to try.

Zhuo Ke didn't know what happened to Ji Haoxi, the voice that was full of joy just now suddenly sank.
I had no choice but to oh, and then pulled Xu Yuan, who was standing silently watching, out.
After Ji Haoxi finished heating the oil, he put all kinds of condiments out of the pot one by one, and several simple kitchen utensils were flying under his hands. After a while, a cumin mutton fried rice was ready.
Seeing that it would take some time to get the skewers outside, Ji Haoxi started to make some paste again and washed the lettuce in Zhuo Ke's basket.

Chi Li Fenghu and others sat in the Jinyu Tower for not a long time.
They did meet Xue Rennan and a group of other disciples there as Chiche Fenghu had expected, but they didn't expect Jin Zhe and Chiche Nanchen to be among them.
Chiche Nanchen is the second prince of Chicha, who has been weak and sick since he was a child, and has been recuperating by taking medicine all year round.However, he was talented and intelligent since he was a child, and he has read poetry and books. He is known as the head of the four great talents.
Chi Lie Feng Hu didn't expect to see Chi Lie Nanchen here, and the few of them were slightly taken aback at the same time, and then saluted immediately.
"Second brother." (Chicrack Fenghu)
"Second brother." (Chi Liqianqi)
"See the second prince." (Jing Shu)
"See the second prince." (Jia Gule)
Then another group of people stood up to salute Chi Lie Fenghu and Chi Lie Qianqi, and General Tong Jing and Jia Gule exchanged polite greetings.
Chiche Nanchen's face was a little pale, although the sun was very sunny today, Chiche Nanchen wore a lot of clothes, and it seemed that his body was still in poor condition.
"I wanted to pay New Year's greetings to my second brother tomorrow, but I didn't expect to meet my second brother here today."
Chiche Nanchen nodded.
"Staying in the mansion is boring, come out to get some air."
Both Chiche Nanchen and Jin Zhe were there, and they couldn't speak some of the words they had prepared.

Jing Shu calmly took the faces of the group of people into his eyes, then raised his head and changed the subject in a timely manner.
Chi Lie Nanchen's health was not good, and he left without sitting for a while, accompanied by his guards.
After Chi Lie Nanchen left, Chi Lie Feng Hu also greeted Jin Zhe, and then pretended to casually glance at Xue Rennan and left.
Chi Lianqian yelled and insisted on listening to the song, and kept tossing Chi Lianfeng, who was a little bit brainy, and finally got rid of Chi Lianqian and came back alone.
Because today is the first day of the new year, many servants are on holiday.
After the red cracked maple entered the door, her footsteps uncontrollably took a long detour, and came to the garden of the side hall.
The bright red lanterns were hung festively on the side hall, but there was no one in the room.
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of aroma of barbecue, mixed with a little laughter.
Chi Crack Fenghu frowned, and walked along the scent without thinking.
Ji Haoxi sat by the firelight, the red firelight reflected on Ji Haoxi's body, his little face was flushed, and two clusters of small flames danced joyfully in his clear eyes.
Zhuo Ke drank until he was happy, raised his wine glass and surrounded Ji Haoxi: "It's the first time you said that someone will accompany you to celebrate the New Year, no, you must have a drink!" Zhuo Ke made a fuss, pulling Ji Haoxi to force him Have a drink.
Ji Haoxi's drunken appearance before was still fresh in his memory, and he refused to live or die. The two little girls, Shen Jia and Shen Ying, were amused by the appearance of Ji Haoxi and Zhuo Ke.
"Master!" Xu Yuan's panicked voice brought everyone present back to their sights.
"Xu, Xu Yuan didn't know that the master is here, please forgive me!" Xu Yuan seemed to be half panicked as he said this, and then turned to the red cracked maple to protect him.
This apology also successfully pulled Chi Li Fenghu's sight away.
Ji Haoxi was taken aback when he heard this sound, and when he raised his head, he found that Chiche Fenghu didn't look at him. He hid his little strange emotions, and knelt on the ground together with Zhuo Ke.
Hearing greetings from several people, in Chi Lifeng's ears, he felt that Ji Haoxi's voice was particularly distinct and... unwilling?
Chi Crack Fenghu turned his gaze back to Ji Haoxi's body again, and found that the other party's head was lowered, motionless, as if he didn't want to see him.
"Why, you don't welcome me?" Chi Li Fenghu's voice was not pleasant, and she said lightly in Ji Haoxi's direction.
Although Zhuo Ke is stupid, he is not stupid.
"Don't dare." Ji Haoxi's voice was muffled.
"Then bring me one." As he said that, Chi Lifeng took a stool and sat aside.
This……
Shen Jia was taken aback for a moment, and played tricks on Shen Ying, telling her to go to Uncle Guan.
"Come back and sit down!" Chi Crack Feng Hu said coldly as if she had eyes behind her back, and Shen Ying abruptly retracted her foot that had taken a step forward.
Before the group of people could react, Xu Yuan's small voice sounded: "Then... thank you, master." After saying that, he sat not far from Chichuang Fenghu.
Shen Jia glanced at Xu Yuan meaningfully, ran to Ji Haoxi's side on purpose and said, "Haoxi, go and sit down, you have roasted all night, and you haven't even drank your saliva yet."
Ji Haoxi looked at Shen Jia in embarrassment, he really wanted to say that he didn't want to go there at all, but he didn't dare to say that, so he kept saying that it doesn't matter if I'm not hungry.
Unexpectedly, Shen Jia deliberately took advantage of Ji Haoxi's unpreparedness, and pulled Ji Haoxi hard, pretending to confiscate it with strength, and dragged Ji Haoxi straight to the direction of Chi Lifeng.
Seeing Shen Jia's small movements, Chi Lifenghu felt a little joy in his heart, and then stretched out his hand to support Ji Haoxi in one go, and then frowned, why did he wear so little?
When Chicrack Fenghu held Ji Haoxi's arm, Ji Haoxi's body froze, he got up quickly, and distanced himself from Chicrack Fenghu.
Chichuang Fenghu was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Xu Yuan saw that all of Chirifenghu's eyes were on Ji Haoxi, feeling a little unhappy, and said in a timely manner: "Master, there is no good wine here, would you like some?"
Chi cracked maple guard looked a little dissatisfied at the little boy who tried to get his attention again and again, but found that the other party seemed to have worked hard to boldly meet his gaze. Suddenly, Chi cracked maple guard's eyes sank, as if understand what.
Chichuang Fenghu looked at Xu Yuan with great interest, and didn't take it when he saw Xu Yuan holding the wine glass. He just asked, "You said just now, what's your name?"
Xu Yuan was shocked, his eyes were stained with a layer of joy that he was trying to hide, and he said tremblingly: "Little, the villain's name is Xu Yuan."
"Xu Yuan." Chi Li Fenghu said in a deep voice: "Good name. Would you like to have a drink with me?"
Xu Yuan trembled a little, he could hardly hold the wine glass with his hand. "Yes, can I?"
"Ha ha." Chi Li Fenghu smiled lowly and sexy. "Come, come to this king."
Ji Haoxi stood aside, his clear eyes moved a little, and finally he just lowered his head and walked back to his original position silently, taking over the things that Shen Jia was in a hurry but couldn't cook well.
"I'll do it." He said softly, without any emotion in his voice.
Shen Jia looked at her master anxiously, not knowing what kind of game her master was playing, what was he doing pulling that not-so-good Xu Yuan to his side when he was obviously old.
Thinking of this, Shen Jia seemed sure that his master would not do anything to her tonight, and deliberately walked to Ji Haoxi's side and said in a crisp voice: "Master Ji, let me accompany you, anyway, today is the New Year, you didn't Thank you also for being with you for the first time not alone in the new year
