Ling He was so scared that he quickly shut his mouth, but he felt uneasy in his heart, "Master... you are so kind to that little girl, you are even more reluctant to let me go after accompanying you for so many years, right?"
Xie Heng curled his lips and said with a deliberately stern face: "That may not be the case!"
"Haha, Master, you are becoming more and more fond of joking now, which is different from before."
Xie Heng sneered lightly, probably because he was used to competing with that girl in the past two days!
Seeing that the young master looked much better, Ling He dared to ask, "Master, the young lady of the Lu family is particularly close to the Crown Prince and the Eighth Prince, and the other princes also have a lot of contacts with her. Aren't you worried that they will embarrass you when you enter the capital in the future?"
Xie Heng sneered, "It sounds like even if I help, they will be nice to me."
"..." Ling He froze for a moment, "But that's better than openly making an enemy of them! I'm worried about you too..."
"Okay, Ling He, do you think they will focus on someone who is on good terms with everyone, or someone who looks down on everyone?"
"This...I am stupid." Ling He didn't understand what he meant.
"I have my own plans. Lu Seyan is not a simple girl. The fact that a concubine's daughter can establish close relationships with the princes is enough to show her means."
"Shouldn't you cooperate with people like this?"
Xie Heng shook his head. "She won't be of any use to me. Besides, such a person is like a sharp sword. I can stab my opponent or myself."
Ling He smiled, "So, Zhiliao is better. She is always open about everything and has a vindictive personality. If she knew your identity, would she be scared and cry?"
Xie Heng shook his head. "If she was really scared, she wouldn't have given me laxatives. That girl knows how to handle things. She knows that I won't do anything to her just because I have diarrhea. She's very smart."
"She is smart, but it's a pity that she is in the countryside and will have fewer opportunities to see you in the future." Ling He didn't say anything definite because he didn't know what the young master meant.
Xie Heng naturally trusted Ling He very much, and would not hold back on anything he could say. "Otherwise, Xia Zhiliao's father, Xia Jinjun, is quite talented. I've also read his articles at Xia's house, and they are quite insightful."
Xie Heng really approves of Xia Jinjun and thinks that sooner or later he will be able to succeed.
…
Xia Zhiliao took back the space bracelet, thinking that she could just lie down even if she did nothing, but it seemed that she was the only one who had such an idea.
Dad was studying very hard, Mom was busy teaching others while embroidering, and my uncles all had their own things to do.
She is like a salted fish.
She sat on the big rock at the door and thought about life. Naturally, she didn't want to be a light bulb for her parents in the house.
Her parents thought she understood nothing, but how could she not understand?
"Sister, it's so cold outside, why don't you come inside?"
The three Xia Jiang brothers came over from a distance in high spirits, holding a pheasant in their hands, with their heads held high as if they had won a battle.
Without waiting for Xia Zhiliao to ask, Xia Hai spoke out of his little mouth.
"Sister, you know what? Brother Xie is really amazing. The few moves he taught us really worked. Otherwise, this pheasant would have been snatched away by Goudan and the others today."
"Brother, are you guys fighting again?"
"It's okay, we didn't lose this time!" Xia He said with a smile, "It was Goudan and his gang who wanted to steal the pheasant we caught. Your method is the most effective."
"That's because you are awesome!" Xia Zhiliao praised his brothers without hesitation.
Xia Jiang and the others were even happier. But Xia He scratched his head and said, "Sister, did Brother Xie tell you when his people will come to teach me martial arts?"
Xia Zhiliao shrugged, "Second brother, maybe he was just talking casually, but you really believed it."
Xia He shook his head, "How can it be just talk? Zhi, Brother Xie is not that kind of person."
[I know what kind of person he is. My silly second brother, you are so easy to fool. Xie Heng, why did he have to fool my second brother when he could fool anyone else? How despicable.]
"Sister, do you have any misunderstandings about Brother Xie?" Xia Hai asked with a playful smile, "I always feel like you think Brother Xie is a bad guy."
[Why should I pretend to be one? He is one already! ]
Xia Zhiliao sneered and said, "Big brother, second brother, third brother, you are too honest. I am a busy man with a lot of things to do, but you still remember our little things!"
Xia Zhiliao was also quite curious. She wondered if any sparks would fly between Xie Heng and Lu Seyan during their journey together.
But the fact is, Xie Heng had no intention of getting close to Lu Seyan, but instead rode at full speed and arrived in the capital several days earlier than her.
Xia Jinxiu also had an eye-catching performance at the Cheng family's birthday banquet. The big baked cake she made simply astonished everyone's eyes. There were big birthday peaches and the birthday boy on it, which were so vivid, and there were also exquisite dishes.
The Cheng family praised Xia Jinxiu highly, which made Brother Cheng feel very proud in front of his friends. He kept praising his sister Xia Jinxiu for her cleverness and dexterity to his business friends.
"See? My sister is amazing. If anyone in your family has a banquet in the future, you must find my sister. I will definitely make you proud."
"Brother Cheng, you know what. I'm worried about my son's 100-day banquet after the Chinese New Year. Why don't you talk to my sister about the price? We can negotiate. Just follow your family's standards and get me a few tables."
Brother Cheng laughed heartily, "What's the big deal? Friends are friends, but you guys can't wrong my sister. If it weren't for my face, she might not go."
"Don't worry, don't worry, your sister is our sister. If she asks for the wages, I will never talk back."
Brother Cheng gave Cheng Han and his wife a wink, and Cheng Han smiled, thinking that her aunt would definitely be happy.
Xia Jinxiu was indeed very happy when she heard the news, and she was even happier when she learned that the person who invited her was from the county town.
"Second sister-in-law, there are so many big restaurants in the county town, and they have all kinds of chefs. Why did you invite me to go?"
Cheng Han said softly, "Aunt, they value your cooking skills. My cousin's friends are also worldly-wise. They recognize you, so what do you have to worry about?"
"Yes, Jinxiu, I heard everyone at the banquet praising your cooking."
Xia Jinxiu said proudly: "Of course, I didn't sleep much last night because of this banquet."
She smiled brightly, "I have to tell Zhiliao about this news, so that the girl can be happy. By the way, when we pass by the town on our way back, second brother, you can take second sister-in-law to have a check-up. I'll pay for it."
"No way!" Xia Jinyu quickly refused, and Cheng Han also shook her head slightly.
"Why are you being polite? Without my second sister-in-law, I wouldn't have earned the money this time, and there's money for next time. Second sister-in-law, please don't be polite to me."
Cheng Han felt warm in her heart and felt more and more that she had married the right person. Fortunately, her aunt did not stop her, otherwise she would have missed it.
