Although Xia Jinjun didn't dare to say how well he knew the young man in front of him, he knew that he would never do anything to Xiao Zhiliao in front of him and his wife.
Moreover, he thought that the whole family could see that the prince was very kind to their cicada and even had a little fondness for him.
I don’t know what’s going on in the little girl’s head every day.
"This..." Xia Jinjun felt that the other person was of noble status. It would have been fine if he hadn't known about it before, but now that he knew about it, he felt something was wrong.
Wen Heng smiled and joked, "Uncle Xia, are you afraid that I will secretly bully Sister Zhiliao?"
[That’s right, my father loves me very much, so he won’t trust you! ]
But Xia Jinjun didn't say that, "How is that possible? Master Xie, you are joking. I can see how much you love Zhiliao!"
Xia Chen also smiled and nodded.
[Dad, are you still asleep? Look carefully, how is he nice to me?]
Wen Heng curled his lips and said, "Then let me do it. The journey is long and Uncle Xia may not be able to carry this chubby girl on his own."
[You are fat, your whole family is fat! ]
However, when Xia Zhiliao saw the boy's thin cheeks, he felt guilty about what he said. Wen Heng was at the age of growing up, and he had lost his baby fat in his teens, so he was not fat at all.
Seeing that Wen Heng was sincere, Xia Jinjun stopped refusing. After all, he had carried the child for nearly half of the journey.
In fact, Xia Zhiliao wanted to say that she could walk. She was eating well and growing strong, so walking a few miles would be no problem at all. But then she changed her mind and thought that Wen Heng would not do anything to her, so she let him feel the pressure from the mountain. It was quite comfortable to be carried on his back.
"Come up!"
Xia Zhiliao smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank my brother."
Wen Heng has been practicing martial arts since he was young. Although he is not tall enough, it is not a problem for him to carry a chubby girl weighing more than 30 kilograms. Not to mention walking on mountain roads, he can even take her flying for a while using light skills.
Obviously, Xia Zhiliao initially disliked the fact that Wen Heng had no flesh on his body, which hurt her chest. But because he was still a teenager, she didn't feel any strain when she hugged him with her little arms, and actually felt very comfortable.
The spring sunshine is warm and gentle, and it feels warm on our body.
She actually fell asleep.
"This child, I was wondering why he became silent while walking, he actually fell asleep." Xia Chen said helplessly, reaching out to take the child away, she couldn't bear to let someone carry her on his back all the time.
"No need. If we touch her now, she will definitely wake up." Xie Heng said naturally.
"But..." Xia Jinjun was a little embarrassed, "There is still some way to go!"
"It's okay, I'm not tired, let's go, doesn't Auntie want to know the result quickly?"
How could Xia Chen not want to know? It would have been fine if she had never known about it, but now that she knew, who wouldn't want to know the result as soon as possible?
Xia Zhiliao was sleeping soundly when she suddenly heard many noises around her. When she opened her eyes, she found that she had arrived in the town.
"Come to daddy quickly." Xia Jinjun thought to himself, his daughter is really good at eating and sleeping. She says bad things about Mr. Xie all day long, but she sleeps so soundly on his back.
Xia Zhiliao shook his head, got off Xie Heng's back, rubbed his eyes for a while, and then he could see everything around him clearly.
Seeing his mother's mischievous smile, Xia Zhiliao still felt a little embarrassed.
"Are you awake?"
Xia Zhiliao nodded.
"But Master Xie was exhausted carrying you all the way. If your father wanted to take you over, he would be afraid of waking you up."
[Did I hear that correctly? What's going on? ]
Xia Zhiliao looked at Wen Heng blankly, and Wen Heng raised his eyebrows and looked at her, as if waiting for her thanks.
"Ahem...then why didn't you wake me up!"
“I would like to, but Master Xie said that you must not have slept well last night, so he let you sleep.”
Xia Zhiliao was a little uncomfortable with Wen Heng like this. It was hard to describe, it was a very strange feeling.
Wen Heng didn't hear the little girl's complaints. They had just arrived at the door of the inn. "Uncle Xia, Auntie is inside."
"Okay!" Xia Chen nodded, but inadvertently took two deep breaths. However, the moment she entered the door, her palms became cold.
Wen Heng knocked on the door and a woman's voice came from inside. Judging from her age, she was estimated to be in her fifties, but her voice was very nice and soft, which reminded Xia Zhiliao of the gentle women in the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River.
"Who is it?"
"It's me."
"The young master is back."
With the sound of soft footsteps, the door opened and a well-dressed woman appeared in front of the group.
The woman looked at Xia Chen, then nodded slightly and invited the few people into the house.
Since we are here for serious business, let's skip the small talk and get straight to the point.
The woman asked Xia Chen to embroider in front of her. According to her, most of the embroidery techniques and habits taught by a master are the same, and she also prepared these things.
Xia Chenshi did as she said. The woman kept staring at her, and Xia Zhiliao also stared at the woman.
When the woman noticed the baby's big eyes looking at her, she turned her head to look over, met her eyes, and then smiled slightly.
After a cup of tea, Xia Zhiliao saw the woman shook her head slightly, and her heart sank to the bottom.
[Why is she shaking her head? Is it because she discovered that her mother's embroidery method is different from her apprentice's? No, my mother will be so sad. ]
After hearing this, Xia Chen was distracted and accidentally pricked her finger. Xia Jinjun rushed over and Xia Zhiliao couldn't grab him.
"How is it? Does it hurt?"
Xia Chen shook her head, disappointment flashing across her eyes. She shouldn't have had any expectations. "It's okay, it was just a prick."
"It's bleeding!" Xia Jinjun pinched her fingers, his eyes full of heartache.
Xia Chen withdrew her hand embarrassedly and signaled to him with her eyes that there were people around.
Xia Jinjun didn't care. Who cares?
There's nothing shameful about him loving his wife.
The woman took a deep breath and said, "Madam, you don't have to embroider."
Xia Jinjun paused slightly. He had heard what his little girl had just said. He felt sorry for his wife's hand being pricked, and even more sorry for her dashed hopes.
Xia Chenshi had adjusted her mood and said, "Okay."
The woman looked at Wen Heng and shook her head, saying, "Madam's embroidery method is different from mine. It should not be the embroidery technique I taught you."
"You...please take another good look!" Xia Jinjun said.
"I understand Mr. Xia's feelings. You don't understand the ins and outs of this. Madam's embroidery is very similar to mine, but the embroidery method is different from what I taught, especially the stitching technique. Everyone has their own habits. According to the young master, Madam was separated from her family when she was three or four years old, so she didn't have a long time to learn the art. She was so young, but she was able to understand the essence of random stitch embroidery so thoroughly."
The woman's eyes flashed with admiration, "Madam, you are smart, but the master who taught you was also very good at embroidery. I think of someone."
