Xie Shizi's shameless daily life

Xie Jin suddenly shifted his gaze to Zhao Shu's face. Zhao Shu quickly loosened her hands that were twisting the handkerchief and gave Xie Jin a stiff smile.

Xie Jin looked at her and smiled, raising his eyebrows, as if to say: Why don't you come over and wait for me to treat you?
Zhao Shu's heart sank, and she walked over with difficulty, stiffly, and against her instinct.

Zhao Shu walked in with gritted teeth, and paused when she saw two stones on the ground.

Xie Jin really didn't lie and moved two stones here.

Seeing that the two stones were so close to each other, if she and Xie Jin sat down together, their bodies would inevitably touch. After thinking about it, Zhao Shu chose to stand with her body facing the lotus pond.

Xie Jin ignored Zhao Shu's thoughts, lifted his robe and sat down on the stone.

The two stood and sat in silence for a while. When Zhao Shu was staring at the withered lotus pond in a trance, a big hand pulled her over from below. The feeling of weightlessness rushed up from her limbs, and Zhao Shu closed her eyes in fear.

The expected pain did not come, but instead there was a warm touch on the left side of the body.

Xie Jin looked at Zhao Shu, whose face was wrinkled, with a smile in his eyes. Just as he was about to straighten her up, Zhao Shu opened her eyes. Zhao Shu stared blankly at the handsome face that appeared in front of her. She was stunned for a few seconds, and red spots quickly appeared on her face.

He placed his hands on Xie Jin's chest and pushed hard, then quickly turned his body to the side and buried his face in his arms, not moving at all.

Xie Jin was pushed and staggered, and he quickly used his right hand to support himself on the ground to avoid falling.

Xie Jin looked at Zhao Shu with a hint of annoyance, but saw that Zhao Shu first lay motionless with her hands buried in her arms, and then her body began to shake slightly.

Xie Jin's annoyance disappeared, and he stood up at a loss, took a small step forward in panic and then quickly took a step back. He stood there at a loss for a while, and finally squatted carefully in front of Zhao Shu, stretched out his index finger and gently poked Zhao Shu's arm, and whispered: "Don't cry, I didn't know it would scare you."

Zhao Shu moved her arm inward.

Xie Jin blushed slightly, and was ready to throw the can down the drain: "Then tell me, what do you want?"

Zhao Shu stopped shaking, half raised her face, her eyes were red, her nose was red as she looked at Xie Jin: "I know that although I am the eldest daughter of the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion, I am actually living worse than a maid. You laugh at me in private and avoid me in public. I know all this and I don't care. But you can't bully me like this. You are the most favored eldest son of the Xian Guogong Mansion and the future Xian Guogong. You are a gentle and modest young man in the eyes of the world. You can ignore the gossip outside, but I can't. I don't have anyone to support me. Once these gossips reach my parents' ears, what will be waiting for me! Have you thought about it?"

Zhao Shu didn’t know what was wrong with her. She usually didn’t care about it, but today she just wanted to cry and vent all her emotions!
Xie Jin looked at Zhao Shu like this, feeling bitter in his heart. He couldn't explain the feeling for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I didn't ignore you. This is the Duke of Xian's Mansion. Even if the servants saw us, they wouldn't and wouldn't dare to say anything. Moreover, this place is very hidden. People who are not familiar with the Duke of Xian's Mansion generally don't come here, so don't worry, those young men and young ladies from aristocratic families can't find this place at all."

Xie Jin lowered his eyebrows and continued, "I saw you moving your legs from time to time while standing, so I guessed that you were tired. I asked you to sit down with kind words, but you definitely didn't want to. You might even doubt my intentions. After thinking about it, I still think that the method just now is more direct."

Zhao Shu had almost vented her emotions, and when she looked at Xie Jin and said this, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Xie Jin suddenly stood up. Zhao Shu looked at Xie Jin's expressionless face and thought he was going to beat her up out of anger. She shrank back a little scared and looked at Xie Jin carefully.

Xie Jin looked at Zhao Shu's timid appearance and laughed in his heart. Forget it, he was a magnanimous man and didn't bother with her.

But he sat down on the stone next to Zhao Shu with an expressionless face and said in a cold voice: "Look at the scenery."

Zhao Shu quickly looked away when she heard that. After all, she had just misinterpreted his good intentions and it would be inappropriate to refuse his words now. Besides, this place must be more private as he said, and she didn't have to worry about being seen. After figuring it out, the old monk sat down and stared at the lotus pond in front of him.

Powerful, rhythmic breathing sounds filled this small space. Zhao Shu hugged her knees uncomfortably, hoping to minimize her presence.

Xie Jin leaned back inconspicuously, looking at the girl's face from side to side.

The fine hairs stood softly on her face under the light. Her willow-like eyebrows were set below her forehead, a somewhat malnourished light yellow. Her nose was small. It seemed that the girl had put rouge on her lips today, a blood-like color that made her little face look even whiter and more translucent.

Xie Jin stared at the girl intently, wondering if she had put on any perfume today. A sweet smell filled the air. Xie Jin's Adam's apple slid slightly, and he murmured, "What perfume did you put on?"

Zhao Shu heard Xie Jin's voice but didn't hear clearly what Xie Jin said. She turned her head slightly and asked, "What did you just say?"

Xie Jin looked at the girl's stupid look, regained his composure, and said seriously, "Nothing."

Zhao Shu made small talk: "You are the host, why don't you just not show up?"

Xie Jin stretched out her legs lazily, with her left leg resting lightly on her right leg: "Zhao Nanyu is here."

Zhao Shu listened to Xie Jin's incoherent answer and was confused. Who asked him about Zhao Nanyu? And who was Zhao Nanyu?
The two of them looked at the pond in front of them quietly. Xie Jin suddenly said, "If I am the son-in-law that the girls in Beijing want to marry the most, then Zhao Nanyu is the second son-in-law that the girls want to marry."

Zhao Shu didn't react at first, but it took her a while to realize that Xie Jin was explaining to her?
A light bulb went off in my head, and I suddenly remembered who Zhao Nanyu was. Was he the well-mannered and handsome young man that Ah Ling mentioned?
Zhao Shu said lightly: "Oh." Looking at Xie Jin's comfortable look, Zhao Shu thought maliciously, I wonder if Zhao Nanyu was tricked by Xie Jin to come to this party?

After sitting for another half an hour, Xie Jin said, "Let's go back."

Zhao Shu calculated the time in her mind and decided it was time to go back, so she nodded.

Xie Jin stood up and brushed off the dust on the corner of his clothes, and stretched out his hand to Zhao Shu. Zhao Shu looked at the big hand with clear veins in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and finally put her hand in Xie Jin's palm.

Xie Jin stretched out his arms and easily pulled Zhao Shu up. The moment Zhao Shu stood firm, he quickly pulled his hand back.

Xie Jin looked at Zhao Shu's actions without saying anything and walked out first.

Zhao Shu waited for Xie Jin to leave for a while before slowly walking back.

The maids of Duke Xian's mansion gradually brought the ladies and noble girls from the flower hall to the dining hall. On the surface, this spring banquet was an ordinary gathering, but the real meaning was tacitly understood by all the ladies and noble girls. Therefore, men and women did not sit at separate tables, but it was also impossible for men and women to sit together. The men could only sit in one row and the women in another row, with a distance of two or three meters in between. However, such a distance did not prevent the affectionate men and women from looking at each other.

Zhao Shu stepped into the dining hall and sat down next to Zhao Xueying. She looked around and sighed in her heart: rich people really know how to have fun.

As soon as Zhao Shu entered the dining hall, Xie Jin saw her.

Zhao Nanyu looked at his friend who was absent-minded, picked up a piece of red pepper and put it on Xie Jin's plate: "Brother Xie, try this, it's not bad."

Xie Jin didn't even look at it. He picked it up and put it in his mouth. Xie Jin's chewing slowed down, and the three souls that had just gone somewhere returned to his body. Xie Jin calmly swallowed the chili in his mouth, and then calmly picked up the tea on the table and drank it one cup after another. People who didn't know him would think he was very thirsty.

Because Xie Jin was sitting on the right side, Zhao Shu could easily catch a glimpse of him out of the corner of her eye. He hadn't been in the lotus pond for long. Was he that thirsty?

Zhao Shu suddenly felt her throat a little dry. She coughed softly and unconsciously picked up the tea and took a sip.

Xie Jin didn't realize that his behavior of drinking water had a stimulating effect on some people who were paying attention to him. When the burning sensation in his mouth faded, Xie Jin didn't bother Zhao Nanyu, and just ate the food in front of him with a lukewarm taste.

After having enough food and drink, the exquisite food on the table could no longer satisfy the young men and women who were becoming increasingly interested, so someone suggested playing "Who will be the flower?", and as soon as the suggestion was made, everyone agreed unanimously.

As the name suggests, "Whose Flower Will Fall" means sitting on the ground half a meter apart from each other in a corner hall with a square outer shape and carved flower shapes inside. Open the water valve in the front to let in the water, then open the water valve in the back to form running water, and then put a big daphne flower into the water. Leave a blindfolded person next to it and beat the drum. The advantage of blindfolding is that it can prevent the person beating the drum from cheating by calculating the water flow speed. When the drum stops, the servants on both sides of the front and back block the valve eyes to see who will win in the end. Then the person beating the drum will announce the punishment measures.

Zhao Shu didn't want to join in the fun, but Hu Jing insisted on pulling her aside and saying something like she had already hidden once and couldn't hide a second time, and it would be no fun without her.

Zhao Shu was no match for Hu Jing, nor was she as strong as her, so she had no choice but to be pulled over by her.

Hu Jing took Zhao Shu to find an empty seat and sat down. Someone soon sat down next to them, but Zhao Shu didn't care.

Until Xie Jin's voice sounded from the side: "I will be the one who beats the drum."

Everyone agreed happily.

After Xie Jin stood up, the seat next to Zhao Shu remained empty with no one sitting there.

The black square silk tied on Xie Jin's face formed a sharp contrast with the crimson robe he wore today, giving him an indescribable feeling of seduction. The ladies present would steal a glance at Xie Jin from time to time, then blush and look away, going back and forth over and over again without a moment of rest.

Although Xie Jin was indeed a man of outstanding ability and good looks, the young men present were all beloved and beloved by their families. Seeing that the young ladies were focusing all their attention on Xie Jin, they tapped the stone flower in front of them with their fans in dissatisfaction, "Do you want to play or not?"

Hu Jing, a simple child, shouted loudly: "Play, why don't you play!"

The girls were too embarrassed to put their thoughts away and focus on the game that was about to begin.

When the drums started beating, everyone couldn't help but get nervous.

Zhao Shu felt a little nervous in the atmosphere with no other sounds except the drum beats. She didn't dare to let her thoughts wander anymore. She just listened to the drum beats without paying any attention and stared at the Daphne odora floating on the water.

He was afraid that if the drum sound stopped, Ruixiang would also stop in front of him. He was even more afraid that Xie Jin would take the opportunity to impose excessive punishment.

But the strange thing is that during the whole game, Ruixiang never stopped in front of Zhao Shu.

On the other hand, Zhao Nanyu's luck was really bad. Ruixiang stopped in front of him every time, and Xie Jin's punishment for Zhao Nanyu was only drinking, nothing else. Zhao Nanyu drank one glass of wine after another, and his face became redder and redder, making everyone feel embarrassed to continue playing.

Finally, a little girl couldn't stand it anymore and stopped the game. Meanwhile, everyone else didn't want to play anymore, so they all agreed.

The ladies in the front hall also ended their party and asked their servants to call their daughters and sons.

Zhao Shu reluctantly said goodbye to Hu Jing and walked towards her carriage.

Xie Jin watched Zhao Shu get on the carriage until she was out of sight. Then Xie Jin grabbed Zhao Nanyu, who was about to be helped away by his servant, and said gently to the servant, "Tell my aunt that Brother Zhao left something with me. I will take the thing to Brother Zhao and then I will personally send him back home."

The servant looked at Xie Jin with embarrassment. His master had said that if he had no choice but to return home, and Xie Jin happened to want to keep him, he would definitely find a way to get him back.

Xie Jin grinned at the servant: "Why, you still don't trust me?"

The servant nodded in a daze at Xie Jin's smile. This Master Xie was so gentle.

After everyone had left, Xie Jin asked Xie Wu to bring a carriage.

Xie Jin grabbed Zhao Nanyu's collar and threw him onto the carriage. Looking at Zhao Nanyu lying drunkenly on the base of the carriage, she ignored him, clapped her hands, and sat down.

Xie Jin fanned it with his hand in disdain: "It smells like rotten wine. It stinks."

He didn't even think about who was relying on his good hearing from martial arts training to accurately calculate the speed of the water flow, so that the flower stopped in front of Zhao Nanyu and punished him to drink.

Zhao Nanyu, who was lying on the ground, opened his eyes in confusion: "Why am I sleeping on the ground?"

Xie Jin helped Zhao Nanyu sit up: "Just now I helped you sit down, but you refused to sit down. You insisted that the ground was more comfortable and wanted to lie down on it." Your face looked like I'm worried sick about you, but you don't appreciate it.

Zhao Nanyu, who was drunk, had zero thinking ability and immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "I was wrong, thank you brother."

Xie Jin had a hard time holding back his laughter, so he clenched his fist and covered his mouth with a cough: "No problem."

Zhao Nanyu saw Xie Jin covering his mouth and lowering his head, thinking that he was sad, so he put his hand on Xie Jin who was still wandering around and said, "Brother Xie, I recently got a copy of General Zhou's autobiography. I'll give it to you!"

Xie Jin continued to cover her lips and lowered her head: "Isn't that bad?"

Zhao Nanyu patted his chest and said, "What's wrong with that? Mine is yours, brother Xie! Come back with me later and I'll give it to you."

Xie Jin raised his head and looked at Zhao Nanyu with a touched face: "Thank you, Brother Zhao, but the military record is in my house, so I won't go with you to get it."

Zhao Nanyu's mind was confused: "Okay."

The next day, Zhao Nanyu woke up and locked himself in the room for the whole morning with an expressionless face. After he came out, he called the servant who did not bring him back from the drunken banquet that day and fined him two taels of silver.
