Chapter 34: 共浴
[Shared Bath]
Putting down his chopsticks, he looked at Tang Xiaobao, with a bit of helplessness in his tone that no one could detect: “If that woman is smart enough, then she will live well with that Gongzi. If not, even if she marries back, will soon be abandoned, even if that Gongzi is rare to see but an idiot, with the passage of time the feeling will be built on the false intention of hypocrisy / insincerity will wear down.”
Finished, looked at the thoughtful Tang Xiaobao, then said: “In addition, those closely involved cannot see clearly and are confused. The person on the spot is baffled, the onlooker sees clear (idiom). The spectator sees more of the game. How other people persuade is not better than his own real experience.”
After listening to Ji Ling’s words, Tang Xiaobao felt that he was right, this is someone else’s feeling □□, and is not cheated, the outsider expressed succinctly.
Seeing Tang Xiaobao pick up the chopsticks again and eat with relish, Ji Ling knew that his persuasion had worked, so he pinched his favourite mushrooms into his bowl, and watched Tang Xiaobao reveal a silly smile towards himself.
Recently, the business has been busy, after eating Ji Ling went to study and then got busy, looking at Ji Ling like this, Tang Xiaobao will know that he will definitely be late to come back. Just now it was dark early, this time it was not late, but the sky had begun to hang black, looking at the green lotus standing by the side, and asked her if the house lights were lit. Before sleeping, he hoped that the house could be a little brighter.
Sitting in front of the table with his chin propped up, Ji Ling has been busy for quite some time now, and he has been trading for almost half a month, only that selling the same things every day makes him want to change his style. Although this small trading is just to pass the time, he actually earns a lot, because he makes fewer, high pricing, but every time it sells out. Although he felt that it was only natural for his own products to sell so well, he still felt happy.
“Green Lotus, what do you think we should sell (change product to sell)?” Tang Xiaobao asked, looking at Green Lotus.
Seeing Tang Xiao Bao with a pair of round eyes staring at himself, in the candle flame’s illumination as if sparkling with starlight, quickly lowered his head, looking at the ground, “This slave girl don’t know, just slave girl think, young madam want to sell whatever is possible, the taste is so good, moreover it will be able to sell out.”
This period of time, every time Tang Xiaobao out, she followed, although Tang Xiaobao does not know, but she understands, the young madam’s pastries so popular, although not much to take to sell, but also seems to have made a name for itself here, several times she saw a few restaurants people mixed in the inside to buy things, must want to buy back to create the recipe. According to the rules of those restaurants, if it wasn’t for the Young Master behind helping out, she is afraid the Young madam’s little stall would have been taken away long ago.
“Alright then.” Hearing Green Lotus’ words, Tang Xiaobao thought about it and decided to make Fried chop rice cakes and roll them. That wasn’t a difficult food to make, as long as the ingredients were right, what was made was very tasty. Just compared with what ordinary people made are not the same, Tang Xiaobao thinks the reason why this snack is so delicious, the most important point is its ingredients, bean noodles. If it is done well, it is simply delicious and will not get tired of eating it.
Now that the plan was finalized, Tang Xiaobao happily went to wash up.
Ji Ling who finished the matter in advance returned to the house, didn’t see Tang Xiao Bao who should be lying on the bed to play, glanced at Green Lotus, “Where is the young madam?”
“Young madam went ahead to wash up.” Towards Ji Ling made a bow, green lotus pointed to the direction of the bathroom, then saw the young master of the family without hesitation went there too.
When he arrived at the bathroom, he saw that there was still hot air in the wooden barrel, and the original hot water pipe was continuously releasing water into the barrel, while Tang Xiaobao was soaking in it with his eyes closed and a comfortable look on his face. Looking at Tang Xiaobao’s enjoyment, Ji Ling took off his own clothes, and entered Tang Xiaobao’s barrel just and honorably.
Tang Xiaobao sensed that someone had entered the barrel, and realised that it was Ji Ling. Tang Xiaobao looked at him with a shocked face, and realising that he was not wearing any clothes, he quickly turned his face away. What floated in his mind was still the same as what he had just seen, he really couldn’t understand why Ji Ling, who had been sick all along, was still so big there, it was simply unscientific. Thinking like this, his mouth kept saying, “There is another bucket there, why do you want to squeeze with me.”
At this time, Ji Ling has gone into the water, looking at the whole person who has been red through, Tang Xiaobao, although not very understanding this kind of encounter, why always reddened face’s trait? But every time he sees it he will feel it is inexplicably cute.
Originally the barrel is big enough, just two adults sitting so it will inevitably be a bit crowded. After touching Ji Ling’s feet, Tang Xiaobao once did not know how to place his hands and feet. Just when he felt that he was about to be fainted by the heat, he saw that Ji Ling reached out and got Tang Xiaobao into his arms. Feeling the area of skin-to-skin contact between the two of them increase, Tang Xiaobao felt that he was getting worse and worse, coupled with Ji Ling’s hands that were not restlessly sliding on his body, he suddenly became nervous.
“You, you don’t.” Tang Xiaobao stammered, terrified and not sure what he was afraid of.
Touching Tang Xiaobao’s more slippery skin than normal people, Ji Ling faintly responded, he just enjoys the feeling of skin to skin, in fact, he is not too interested in chasing desires. Looking at the rounded shoulders of Tang Xiaobao, gently bit a small bite.
Waiting for time to sleep, Tang Xiaobao has become a thorough steamed bun, looking at the expression of Ji Ling still with a little anger, he did not know why Ji Ling can so in deadly earnest, suggest to help each other out. Although both of them are very comfortable, kissing and biting on his body, after so long, it did not come out, Ji Ling is obviously not very right.
Replacing with new inner clothes, looking at Tang Xiaobao who was still glaring at himself, Ji Ling faintly raised his eyebrows, and then said, “If you want to, next time I’ll let you bite back.” Just as he looked at Tang Xiaobao’s white and tender flesh, he didn’t know why he couldn’t help it.
“Hmph.” Expressing his anger towards him, Tang Xiaobao turned his back to him and slept. Who wants to bite him? Due to his recent martial arts training, the pile of muscles on his body are very solid, the bite must be very hard.
Rarely do he see Tang Xiaobao make a little temper, Ji Ling also did not have any reaction, just after going to bed, opened his own guilt, from Tang Xiaobao’s back and he hugged him. Tang Xiaobao struggled twice, but didn’t break away, then found a comfortable position in Ji Ling’s arms and closed his eyes.
“Forget it, for the sake of him warming his bed at night, forgive him, otherwise it’s still a bit cold to sleep alone.” The optimistic Tang Xiao Bao thought so.
But the next morning, not waiting for Tang Xiaobao and Green Lotus to discuss when to make that cake roll to sell, then heard Ji Ling tell himself to accompany him to go out to participate in the partner’s birthday banquet the day after tomorrow. Thinking about it, Tang Xiaobao decided to stay at home and wait until then to go out with Ji Ling, so as not to run all dusty.
As this was a more formal business partnership, as a partner, Ji Ling naturally could not afford to be impolite, and asked the housekeeper to prepare the congratulatory gifts a day in advance, and even Tang Xiaobao also learnt the basics with the help of Green Lotus.
Listening to Green Lotus, Tang Xiaobao had only one feeling, that is, they are really troublesome. After thinking for a while, when the time comes, he’d better be careful with my words, so that nothing will go wrong. Just looking at Greenlotus he couldn’t help but sigh, “Green Lotus, you know a lot of things.”
As she helped Tang Xiaobao choose the clothes he wanted to wear, she smiled towards Tang Xiaobao, “Madam you over praise me, these are all what this slave girl should do.” There are only two masters in this mansion now, that’s why they are not so strict. If they were in the master’s house, I’m afraid they wouldn’t allow their subordinates to be so loose. It is only because the masters are merciful that they, the subordinates, are able to live a better life.
On the day of the banquet, Ji Ling took care of his business early in the morning and brought Tang Xiaobao to the place of the banquet. Just as they came to the door, they saw the vehicles, looking at the people in and out of the orderly people. Tang Xiaobao thought it was very interesting.
Ji Ling likes quiet, plus not many familiar friends in this place, so there will never be much bustle in the house. The two of them walked in together, and there were servants behind them carrying gifts of congratulations.
Looking at the decorations around the mansion, it is clear that this is a birthday banquet. In the past, the bustling scene that could only be seen through the screen is now in front of their eyes, so Tang Xiaobao watched with interest the scene that is very different from that of a TV drama. Originally he thought that the scene in the TV drama is already exaggerated enough, but who knows that the scene in front of him is no less than that in the TV, and even more exaggerated.
Explained the identity, the boy who has long been waiting at the side, will lead the two towards the inner walk. Until he came to a very beautifully decorated courtyard, only stopped, two people saluted toward Tang Xiaobao, and then said: “Ji Gongzi, Ji Fu Lang, in front of the masters are hosting a banquet place, so please two of you walk there, this little one is inconvenience to go over therefore I can’t go there.”
Seeing that the waiter said so, it must be the master’s arrangement, the two of them did not say anything more, they stepped in. As soon as they stepped in, the subordinate who was originally guarding the doorway came over. Towards the two people made a bow, and then invited the two people to follow him through.
Looking at this dress, that boy who just brought them in is not at all the same, as if it was more expensive. Just before he could think of a reason, the two of them were guided to find their own seats. After sitting down, someone immediately greeted Ji Ling, originally thought they were all acquaintances, only to find out later that they were all unknowns, and looked like they were just coming to get close to each other.
Then, Tang Xiaobao realised how Ji Ling greeted people without any expression and without losing his manners. Just when Tang Xiaobao wanted to make fun of Ji Ling, when he glanced at the rest of his eyes, he saw a very familiar person, and watched him walk towards this side with his eyes open.
“Hello, Ji Gongzi, my father has something to do and can’t come in personally. If you need help somewhere, please feel free to call me.” Looking at this person who is almost the same age as himself, Li Xiao is actually a bit envious, at his age he can be equal to his own father, while he has only taken over a small part of the business. If you want to make a serious comparison, probably, he is still not as good as Ji Ling. Although, still feel a little regret, there is still a trace of admiration.
