Chapter 364 Wait a little longer
"It's me. I'm a woman. I was dressed as a man for convenience."
Xiao Ning replied in a gentle voice.
The waitress said, "Oh!" "So that's how it is. Madam... Madam... is this your husband?"
Xiao Ning nodded with a smile and winked at the waitress, "How about it, isn't it handsome?"
The maid said truthfully, "Madam and the young master are a perfect match."
Shang Xi couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips. He loved hearing this kind of words the most.
"Alian, I asked you to call the children to eat, what have you been doing? I haven't seen you for a long time..."
Aunt Wang came out and saw A-Lian talking to a couple in elegant clothes standing outside the door, and she paused.
"Sister Wang, it's the young master!"
After saying that, he turned around and said to Xiao Ning and his wife, "Madam, Master, please come in!"
When the two of them walked into the charity hall, Aunt Wang was startled when she saw the appearance of the newcomers.
"you……"
Xiao Ning smiled and supported the woman who was about to bow, "Sister Wang, there's no need to be so polite."
"I never thought you were a woman. I was thinking there were still men in the world who thought about this..."
As he spoke, he saw the man next to Xiao Ning and quickly stopped talking.
"Madam and Master, have you had your meal yet? It's almost time for dinner, why don't you stay and have a meal..."
Xiao Ning smiled and said, "My husband and I just came here to eat."
As he was speaking, a child came running over chattering, followed by Qiongyin and a few others.
When they saw Xiao Ning, they couldn't help but widen their eyes. Qiong Yin subconsciously ran towards her, but halfway through, she saw Shang Xi staring at her coldly, and she quickly stopped.
Fu Xian and others also followed.
Fu Xian also stared at Xiao Ning in a daze, but he had nothing else to ask for now.
Staying here and teaching the children to read every day, he felt that his confused and drifting life seemed to have meaning.
But once you meet someone like Xiao Ning, it’s impossible to forget him easily.
He will always keep her in his heart.
Just like this, he lived his life in peace and quiet...
Not to mention Yao Yue and Guan Fang, they have always been sober and good at judging the situation and making the most beneficial decisions for themselves.
Seeing that Xiao Ning and his wife were wearing casual clothes and the charity maid standing next to them did not look restrained, they knew that Xiao Ning had not revealed his identity.
The two men walked over, bowed to Xiao Ning and his wife, and called out "Master" in a proper manner.
Xiao Ning smiled and motioned for them to excuse themselves, "Don't call me master or not here."
The children gathered around Xiao Ning and Shang Xi and kept saying "Wow".
Xiao Ning squatted down, picked up a little girl and handed her to Shang Xi, "She's drooling just looking at you, want a hug?"
Shang Xi was forced to catch it, not daring to move, "Aning, take her away quickly, I won't..."
Before he could finish his words, the little girl came over and gave him a kiss on the face.
Shang Xi Petrochemical is still in place.
Apart from Xiao Ning, he had never been so close to anyone...
The child in my arms is as soft as cotton.
It has a light milky aroma.
Twisting and turning in his arms...
"Brother is so pretty~"
"I like it~"
The little girl covered her face and said shyly.
Xiao Ning burst into laughter.
Seeing Shang Xi holding the little girl as if she were a landmine, Xiao Ning smiled and took the little girl away from his arms.
The little girl kissed Shang Xi, and contentedly let Xiao Ning carry her away and put her on the ground.
Looking at the envious eyes of her friends around her, she raised her head like a victorious little rooster.
Xiao Ning's heart melted when he saw it.
Seeing the envious eyes of the children, Xiao Ning said to Shang Xi, "Why don't you squat down and let them all kiss you?"
Shang Xi: “…”
He glared at Xiao Ning speechlessly, then turned and left.
Then the children followed Shang Xi and walked away together.
The charity hall is full of little girls, with only a few little boys here and there.
All the little girls liked Shang Xi's face, which made Xiao Ning feel sad. No girl liked her, and she was not ugly.
While eating, the children also gathered around Shang Xi.
Xiao Ning couldn't get close, so he sat on the other side and looked enviously at Shang Xi who was surrounded by children.
Shang Xi stared at Xiao Ning resentfully.
Xiao Ning found it a little funny and blew him a kiss to comfort him.
Shang Xi was indeed comforted. He lowered his head and started eating in a depressed mood.
After dinner, Xiao Ning played with the children for a while, and then the two said goodbye.
On the way back, Shang Xi did not enter the carriage, but sat on the shaft with Xiao Ning.
He looked a little depressed.
Xiao Ning asked: "What's wrong, haven't you had enough fun?"
Shang Xi shook his head and said, "You really like children, don't you?"
Xiao Ning nodded, "You say, how about we go to the charity hall someday and pick out a child to take home and raise?"
Shang Xi said softly: "Wait a little longer."
What if Hu Yuanzheng can cure him?
What if we find Divine Doctor Yu?
Xiao Ning reached out and held Shang Xi's hand, "Then wait a little longer."
Her voice was low and gentle, as if it made no difference to her whether the child was biological or adopted.
But Shang Xi knew that it was his Aning who was taking care of his emotions.
Otherwise, he would not have asked Hu Yuanzheng to take care of his health in private.
He leaned over and hugged his Aning.
Xiao Ning smiled and patted his arm, "Alright, alright, stop being sentimental, I'm still riding a horse..."
When they were almost at the city gate, the imperial guards who had been waiting in advance came forward and took over the carriage.
Xiao Ning and his wife sat in the carriage and were sent back to the palace.
The short-lived happiness ended, and the couple plunged back into their hard working life.
The days passed slowly like this.
The newly-appointed scholars were also arranged to intern in various departments in an orderly manner.
After Xiao Ning looked at the specific construction plan and drawings of the Martyrs' Cemetery presented by Xu Qing, he instructed Shang Xi to modify the drawings according to her requirements, then waved his hand, allocated funds, and started construction.
At the same time, he sent his own people as deputies to help him.
Xu Qing knew clearly that he was helping him in order to prevent him from embezzling money.
He had seen the new emperor's ruthless methods, and since the new dynasty was just established, he was not so desperate as to engage in corruption at this time.
In the blink of an eye, a few months passed and the Jinshi's internship was over.
Officials from various departments gave fair or unfair evaluations based on the work abilities of the Jinshi candidates.
After Xiao Ning looked at them, he called them over one by one to question them.
Provide them with jobs according to their abilities.
Finally, she left Yu Qing and Chen Ran behind and said, "I want to set up a supervisory department to supervise all officials for me. I want to appoint you two as the chief and deputy chief of the supervisory department."
These two people have no family behind them, so they have no control and no weaknesses.
Yu Qing has an excellent and keen political sense. As a girl from an aristocratic family, Chen Ran grew up in Shengjing City and is very familiar with the conflicts there.
Yu Qing curled his lips, "It is my honor to be able to share your majesty's worries."
Chen Ran also said: "Your Majesty trusts me so much, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
