Chapter 269 Family members are around
Today, the villagers of Yeli Village prepared dragon and lion dances, and Jiang Lili and her classmates made an appointment to join in the fun.
At dawn, the mist in the mountains slowly dissipated.
"Li Li."
While she was sleeping, Jiang Lili heard someone calling her softly.
She opened her eyes and saw Xin Che leaning slightly against her bedside. The man was wearing a crimson long gown with a flying front and narrow sleeves, looking very heroic.
"woke up?"
The window behind Xin Che had been propped up, and the faint morning light outside the window, with mottled shadows of trees, was reflected behind him. He was more dazzling than the sun.
"Father and mother asked us to come over for breakfast."
Jiang Lili discovered that Xin Che was still in Lishan today and did not go to Huteng Valley where Xin's army and bodyguards were stationed. She suspected that she had not woken up yet.
These days, even during the New Year, Xin Che, Sheng Zhixing and others still go out early and come back late to train.
After the Lantern Festival, the navy of the Mi Kingdom will return home. They will also raise troops and set foot on a new land, so it is urgent to intensify military training.
Jiang Lili struggled to get up from the bed and rubbed her eyes: "No training today?"
"They urged me to take a day off today."
"Spend time with my family."
Xin Che smiled helplessly when talking about this. He, a troop commander, was actually given a holiday by his soldiers.
Xin's soldiers said that they could practice on their own and urged Xin Che to take a day off.
Most of the Xin family soldiers are orphans adopted by Marquis Zhaoping. They regard the Xin family as their own family and only hope that the Marquis and the Crown Prince's family will be well.
Jiang Lili saw that Xin Che was still wearing a red robe today. From the end of the year to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xin Che wore different red robes, and each one was very handsome. She couldn't help but look at him for a while, but after just a while, probably because she was in a bad mood after waking up, her thoughts wandered again.
The fresh air mixed with the sweet fragrance in the house makes people relax unconsciously.
Jiang Lili and Xin Che slept in separate rooms. She was used to sleeping in, while Xin Che was an early riser. When building the cabin, he specifically instructed Xin Che to make the second floor more spacious. He slept on the first floor and Jiang Lili slept on the second floor, so that when he left in the morning he would not disturb Jiang Lili's sleep.
Jiang Lili occupied the second floor of the cabin alone, and Xin Che usually never went upstairs.
Xin Che came up today because Jiang Lili asked him to have someone wake her up early last night.
Xin Che saw Jiang Lili staring at him with wandering eyes, and he touched the tip of his nose uncomfortably.
He walked over to Jiang Lili's dressing table and picked up an agate comb. "What kind of bun do you want today?"
Jiang Lili came back to her senses, and thinking that the Marquis of Zhaoping and his wife were still waiting, she quickly got out of bed, "It's the hairstyle you learned from the sister who sells velvet flowers on the north bank of Haizhou!"
She looked at her hair in the mirror, which was so messy that it looked like a bird's nest. Then she looked at Xin Che who was meticulously groomed behind her, and felt a little embarrassed.
"It looks good even when you just wake up."
Xin Che chuckled and tied up Jiang Lili's hair, his slender fingertips patiently combing the girl's increasingly fluffy and shiny black hair.
Soon, the beautiful and perfect flower-bud hair was combed.
Jiang Lili in the mirror looked completely new, her bright face full of energy and playfulness.
Xin Che brought a wooden tray and placed it in front of Jiang Lili's dressing mirror. On the wooden tray was a water-red skirt embroidered with pear blossoms and skylarks in gold and silver embroidery threads. It looked very beautiful just placed on the tray.
It’s just that this ruqun is a bit too complicated. Jiang Lili tried to figure it out with her hands for a few times but still had no idea where to start.
"I teach you."
Xin Che couldn't help laughing when he saw the girl's awkward look.
He helped Jiang Lili change her clothes, adjusting her cuffs and collar inch by inch, his expression so focused and gentle that he himself could not detect.
Jiang Lili looked at Xin Che's expression and felt her heartbeat quicken as Xin Che adjusted his clothes.
After tidying up his clothes, Xin Che withdrew his hand, his eyes showing tenderness and restraint: "Let's go."

After leaving the hut, Jiang Lili saw that the chickens raised on Lishan Mountain were all decorated with festive red flowers. Jiang Lili held her forehead helplessly and said, "Who is this? So idle!"
Then she saw Master Liao holding the chicken's neck and tying a bow with a ribbon.
"Little brother, you are really going backwards as you grow older!"
She was afraid that Master Liao’s brain would also regress to the level of a few years older.
Master Liao was silent for a moment after hearing this. He suddenly said in a disappointed tone, "Sister Li, do you dislike me, who is only two years old, being your teammate? But this is not something I can decide. Two-year-olds are just so playful."
Jiang Lili choked when she heard Master Liao's words. Her conscience suddenly hurt. What was going on? She was just about to say a few words to comfort him.
Xin Cherui, who was standing beside him, narrowed his eyes. He looked at the bows and red flowers that Master Liao had tied: "The bows and red flowers that Dabao tied for these chickens are of different sizes."
Xin Che raised his eyebrows: "Why do I feel like he is weighing the weight and condition of these chickens, marking them, and deciding which one to eat first?"
Jiang Lili:!!!
After all, it was the wrong payment!
It turns out that Master Liao is not getting worse as he gets older, but is just as cunning as ever!
Master Liao, who was pretending to be depressed, was exposed and quickly made excuses for himself: "No, no, how could you think so much of a simple two-year-old like me!"
"Don't judge others by your own standards!"
Xin Che picked him up with one hand: "Look for yourself who is the villain."
Master Liao kicked his short legs in the air: "It is better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. I am celebrating the festival with the chickens, young and old!"
"These are the chickens I raised. Your mother also has a flock! Don't try to take my chicken legs!"
Jiang Lili was about to hit Master Liao on the head.
Master Liao broke free from Xin Che's devilish clutches and ran to the house where Marquis Zhaoping and his wife lived.
Jiang Lili followed him and rushed into the house in a few quick steps.
Xin Che looked at the two people chasing and playing, and couldn't suppress the curled corners of his mouth.
After entering the house of Marquis Zhaoping and his wife, Jiang Lili discovered that several of her classmates were also there. She was very surprised.
Guan Yue had already sat down at the round table. She waved to Jiang Lili and said, "I'll bring everyone to the mountain to have a meal!"
Wen Qiao was playing with a battleship model with Xin Yan and Wen Xiaomei. When he saw Jiang Lili coming, he smiled and added, "By the way, I'll come to your Lishan community to pick a piece of land and become your neighbor."
Guan Yue nodded: "Yes, we will be neighbors in our old age."
"welcome."
Jiang Lili glanced around the house. Marquis Zhaoping and his wife and Yin Zhen were busy in the small kitchen, while Xin Cheng and Chen were cutting window paper-cuts.
Wen Qiao's strong mother, Su Sanniang, was even more powerful, chopping wood in the woodshed faster than a machine.
Jiang Lili asked Wen Qiao: "Where are Rong Shen and Sheng Zhixing?"
Wen Qiao replied: "On the way."
Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.
"Come on, come on, let's have some free food!"
Rong Shen came with Sheng Zhixing on his back. He put Sheng Zhixing down, panting. Then he suddenly picked up the teapot on the Eight Immortals Table, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it in one breath.
Guan Yue was very surprised to see this scene, and asked with concern: "Hey, what happened to old man Sheng, who is still strong and has a body of steel? Can't climb the mountain anymore?"
Rong Shen waved his hands, still panting: "Brother Sheng sent me a message saying that he had a sudden leg disease this morning and asked me to carry him up the mountain."
