Chapter 82: The Girl At Home

Chen Xi did not go to the recruiting platform at all. He was ready to skip work when he left the government office. As for whether he would be caught by Man Chong who might come back at any time for breaking the law and discipline, Chen Xi has already thought about his excuse. In order to avoid being deceived by others, he intends to investigate the people's conditions. This reason is justified!

After skipping work to go home, he saw Fan Jian reading books at home. It is known as a one-thousand-dollar heirloom book with ten thousand words. Fan Jian has already read a lot, and according to Chen Xi, you don't need to understand, you just need to be aware of it.

"Jian'er, do you want to go out?" Chen Xi pushed the door in, only to see Fan Jian quickly stuff something under the quilt.

"It hurts!" Fan Jian, who was hiding things, may have touched something unintentionally, frowned and yelled.

"Embroidery?" Chen Xi asked curiously.

"Don't look at it." Fan Jian said unhappily, the child's temper was still there.

"The embroidery is not good. Stretch out your hand." Chen Xi teased.

But then Chen Xi reacted. It is estimated that Fan Jian was accidentally pierced by a needle. He pull the left hand of Fan Jian and took a look. There was many small dots on the pale, thin fingers. He think they were pierced by needles when embroidering or making things before. He then thought about what seems to be missing on the hands of Fan Jian.

"Let's go, I'll take you and Lan'er out to buy some rouge gouache or something. You stay at home all day and is not afraid of growing hair." Chen Xi stretched out his hand and pulled Fan Jian up directly. The needles and threads were left inside the basket.

"Go out?" Fan Jian, who rarely goes out, has long been used to doing everything at home, and has little idea of ​​going out. However, if Chen Xi, as her husband, invites her out, she can't refute her husband. She nodded at once, "The little wife will change her clothes."

"Okay, but hurry. I'll go tell Lan'er." Chen Xi tilted his head and glanced at Fan Jian before planning to leave.

After that, Chen Xi went to the backyard to inform Chen Lan. Since being expelled from the Chen family, Chen Xi has relieved Chen Lan of her slavery. She is now a free person, but she still lives in Chen Xi's home. Chen Xi didn't say anything, and Fan Jian didn't care if there was one more or one less Chen Lan.

Because of this, Chen Lan is actually doing the same things as before. Of course not dancing, singing, and playing the piano, but just taking care of Chen Xi as before.

As for serving tea, pouring water, washing, and cooking, the old butler Chen has handed the task over to the newly bought servants. And Chen Xi generally did not need others to take care of him, so Chen Lan actually did almost the same thing as Fan Jian. There are too many refugees who are sold as slaves. At this time, it is a good thing for buyers to buy refugees and give them a bite of food. This helpless society...

Sure enough, when Chen Xi pushed the door in, Chen Lan was lying lazily on the bed reading a book.

"Ah!" Chen Lan was visibly taken aback when she saw Chen Xi coming in, then turned over and sat up with a scream.

"Why so surprised? Really, little lazy pig, get up. I will take you and Jian'er out to buy some rouge gouache. Finally built Fenggao, but I haven't strolled through it. I will take you through it today. Tell me what you want to buy, I have gotten the money in advance." Chen Xi said with a helpless expression looking at Chen Lan who had thrown the book on the ground in a panic.

In other words, if this is seen by those who love books, Chen Lan would be killed, but Chen Xi obviously did not mean to trouble Chen Lan for such trivial matters. His thinking has not been contaminated so far.

"Master..." Chen Lan knelt on the bed and whispered.

"What's the matter?" Chen Xi was too lazy to let Chen Lan change her address for him. He liked the name "Master". Although Chen Lan is no longer his singer now, Chen Lan would dance for Chen Xi if he occasionally needs it. The fan dances in circles, and it's interesting to watch under the misty lights. As for Fan Jian, Chen Xi only saw Fan Jian dance once when she was drunk. It was amazing, but Fan Jian refused to even allow Chen Xi to mention it. Incidentally, every time Chen Xi opened his mouth about it, she would even turn her neck into a bright red color.

"If Madam goes, I shouldn't go." Chen Lan whispered, lowering her head and pinching the quilt with her hand, it was obvious that she wanted to go.

"Don't worry, Jian'er is a bit dull, she doesn't have any consciousness of it. As long as you don't bully her, she will handle it well." Chen Xi said indifferently. After four months of getting along with Fan Jian, Chen Xi also figured out the girl's personality.

Fan Jian is very obedient. Basically, Chen Xi lets her do whatever she wants, but she stays in her boudoir and basically don't go out. Now it's obvious that Fan Jian has been in her boudoir for too long, and became a little dull.

But that's fine, Chen Xi doesn't worry that Fan Jian will specifically find Chen Lan for troubles. After all, compared with Fan Jian, Chen Lan is the girl who has lived with Chen Xi through his hardships. In this case, should he not trust her more?

Chen Lan thought for a while and nodded in agreement, then asked Chen Xi to go out of her boudoir to change her clothes.

"It's too slow." Chen Xi was sitting at the stone table outside the house. Changing clothes was such a waste of time. Chen Xi remembered that he had always put on a suit. As for who handled his change of clothes, Chen Xi can't remember. It seems that a new change of clothes is placed by the bed every morning. Well, it is necessary to get up early tomorrow to see who prepares the clothes for him.

When Chen Xi was starting to feel bored, Fan Jian took Chen Lan across the moon gate one after another.

A plain white blouse with a woman's hair ornament on her head, a golden hairpin inserted in it, and a blush on her white face.

Chen Xi stared at Fan Jian's lips, thinking that he couldn't remember anyone selling lipsticks.

"Why is the husband staring at his wife? Are you bored of waiting?" Fan Jian asked Chen Xi with some curiosity.

"It's just weird. Let's go, let me take you out to shopping. Your husband finally built Fenggao, but he hasn't take a look through Fenggao city until now." Chen Xi shook his head and said. Only in front of outsiders does he maintain his manners.

Fan Jian reached out and took Chen Xi's arm, and then leaned back, slightly half a step behind Chen Xi. Chen Lan followed Chen Xi, looking at Fan Jian with a little envy. In fact, she could do the same thing and she also knew that Chen Xi would not refuse at all, but now Chen Lan was a little embarrassed.

Walking on the road, Chen Xi felt the soft body beside him, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little restless. After all, Fan Jian was quite beautiful, and she was his fiancée, plus the hint of prosperity, if it weren't for her to be too young, Chen Xi would have long transformed into a wolf.

In the first few days, Chen Xi still slept with Fan Jian in the same bed, but later found out that it was pure torment. Fan Jian would leaned on Chen Xi unconsciously, and Chen Xi could not start doing it, so he could only sleep in separate beds. Later he proposed to sleep in separate beds and at that time, Chen Xi always felt that Fan Jian's eyes were a little weird.

Walking on the street, Chen Xi couldn't help but feel a little proud. The bluestone pavement and the rows of shops on both sides of the road were completely different from the dilapidation a few months ago. At that time, the dirty sewage street was also in Chen Xi's mandatory regulations treatment to be cleaned. At least no one is urinating and defecating on the street now, and militia will deal with whoever gets it dirty.

Chen Xi knows very well that in this era, there were no good disease prevention and control methods. It can be safer if it was cleaned. Once the plague breaks out, Taishan, which has finally recovered, will collapse in an instant. If it is a little too unclean, the entire city will become a dead zone.

Chen Xi walked two steps in one direction, then stepped back, turned to Fan Jian and asked, "Do you know where the rouge gouache store is?" Chen Xi was obviously a little unnatural. He also belongs to the type where you squat in one place, but the difference is that others stay at home and he stays in the government office.

"I don't know. Isn't this city built by my husband's orders? Husband doesn't know anything about it?" Fan Jian shook her head, then asked like a curious baby, "Perhaps Lan'er know. Ever since I came to Taishan I haven't been out of the house."

Chen Xi and Fan Jian's gaze made Chen Lan a little unbearable, and she murmured, "I haven't been out either!"

Well, the three people who hadn't gone out before stood at the door and looked at the street. They all sigh together, then Chen Xi smiled.

"Forget it, this could be regarded as knowing what the city lacks. I'll ask someone to make a signpost when I go back and earn some money with it. Go and ask for directions." Chen Xi said helplessly. He didn't think that neither of them would know the way. They were all squatting at home.

Thinking about it, Chen Xi always nests in the government office every day, and since childhood, Fan Jian has never left the house. As for Chen Lan, she was a singer who usually served at home, so naturally she wouldn't go out but stay at home. After staying for a long time, there was no thought to go out.

As the head of the family, Chen Xi naturally couldn't leave the matter of asking for directions to the two weak women who doesn't communicate with outsiders. While asking for directions, he walked around and around. But Chen Xi also noticed a lot of problems when he strolled around like this.

Chen Xi smiled and brought a bracelet for Fan Jian. For girls like Fan Jian and Chen Lan who are doesn't lack anything, it doesn't matter whether to buy or not. The important thing is to find what you like. However, if he was not hungry, Chen Xi might take some time to choose, but when his stomach starts to protest, Chen Xi will not hesitate to just buy.

Anyway, after the tax came up, Liu Bei was not too poor. After making up everyone's salary, he gave Chen Xi a big reward. Naturally, Chen Xi is not short of money at all. As long as Fan Jian and Chen Lan keep their eyes on a certain ornament or powder for more than five seconds, Chen Xi will paid for it directly, and didn't give them time to choose. He just sweep the goods along the way, and a street that might have taken a long time go through, soon came to an end. Both sides were satisfied.
