Chapter 605 People Who Are Naturally Incompatible
After much arguing, the three of them, two adults and one child, finally arrived at a remote village on the border between the two countries in the evening.
The village is very shabby and not many people live there.
Even if there were people, the expressions on their faces were numb.
Soon, the carriage stopped in the middle of the village.
When he came down, Beiling's seventh prince Li Shengting was already standing by waiting.
Behind him was a dilapidated house.
As far as Xu Xianyu could see, this house was the best house in the village, bar none.
Li Shengrui nodded at Xu Xianyu, then his eyes fell on Xu Ziyue in Xu Xianyu's arms.
Looking at the face that was becoming more and more like his mother's, Li Shengting felt a sense of tenderness in his heart, and couldn't help but raise a sincere smile at the corner of his mouth.
He stretched out his hand towards Xu Ziyue, "Come here!"
The look in his eyes when he looked at Xu Ziyue became more gentle.
Xu Ziyue glanced at him, then reached out and hit his hand to express his rejection. Then he hugged Xu Xianyu tightly with both hands, as if he was afraid that she would abandon him.
Xu Xianyu was embarrassed and chuckled:
"Well... the child is shy. Don't mind, Seventh Prince. You'll get used to it soon enough."
"Haha, little girl, you don't need to comfort him." Huangfu Cheng laughed unceremoniously.
He looked at Li Shengting with a teasing look on his face, "Now it seems that this guy not only hates me, but also hates you.
Being hated by his own son, did the Seventh Prince feel heartbroken?
Come, tell me how you feel right now."
Li Shengting glanced at him and said, "If you can't speak, then shut up."
Xu Ziyue didn't want to hug him, so he didn't force her.
Instead, he looked at Xu Xianyu, "Miss Xu, thank you for your hard work.
Please come inside, it's warm inside, it's too cold outside."
Xu Xianyu nodded, then hugged Xu Ziyue and followed Li Shengting into the house.
But after taking a few steps, she turned back to look at Huangfu Cheng:
"Bring in all the luggage from the carriage. Don't leave any behind."
Huangfu Cheng shrugged, "Okay!"
They are all that kid's things.
Well, he is just a laborer.
Xu Xianyu was satisfied and followed Li Shengting's pace.
After entering the house, the warm air that hit her in the face made her breathe a sigh of relief.
Although there were three quilts in the carriage, it was still very cold.
She put Xu Ziyue on the kang nearby, and seeing that Li Shengting wanted to get closer but didn't dare, she suggested:
"Seventh Prince, you can try to interact more with Ziyue. His rejection of you is not as strong as his rejection of Huangfu Cheng.
My sister-in-law said that this is the child’s self-protection mechanism.
If you want him to take over and be close to you, you need to spend more time with him and pay more attention to him. Children are very sensitive and know who is truly good to them. "
You can tell at a glance that this house has been well cleaned.
There were also many children's toys neatly placed on the kang.
The Seventh Prince must have asked someone to find out what children like, so he prepared these things.
Well, of course there are people who are born to be incompatible with each other.
For example, Huangfu Cheng.
Zi Yue was naturally repelled by Huangfu Cheng's approach.
"Thank you!" Li Shengting nodded to Xu Xianyu, then his eyes fell on Xu Ziyue who was rolling on the kang.
Xu Xianyu did not disturb the father and son's interaction and walked outside tactfully.
And when she went out and closed the door, Xu Ziyue raised his head.
Her clear eyes looked towards the door, but she didn't cry or make a fuss.
"for you!"
Li Shengting walked over, picked up the toy beside him and carefully handed it to him with a cautious and flattering look on his face.
Seeing that he didn't take it, Li Shengting didn't get angry, and continued to pick up other things for him:
"If you don't like this one, then do you like this one?"
He was feeling uneasy at this moment.
Zi Yue was too young, and he didn't know how to get along with him.
He is now much bigger and fatter than the last time I saw him.
It can be seen that the Xu family took good care of him.
And the children are taught to be very smart and obedient.
This is his son.
If possible, he also wants to keep him by his side.
But there are too many uncertainties on his side, and he is still too young. If he is not careful, he may be harmed by others.
He couldn't afford to take the risk.
Xu Ziyue shook his head at him, then stretched out his chubby finger and pointed at one of them.
Li Shengting was stunned for a moment and chuckled.
"You have the same sharp vision as your father, and you are worthy of being my son." Li Shengting smiled brightly, then took out the small wooden sword inlaid with rubies and handed it to him.
Seeing that he was interested, Li Shengting looked interested:
"Son, do you want me to show you how to dance with a sword?"
As he said that, he simply drew his sword and danced in front of him.
Seeing that Xu Ziyue was attracted to him, he danced even more vigorously.
…
Inside the house, the father and son get along very well.
Outside the house, Xu Xianyu and Huangfu Cheng were breathing heavily in the yard while watching someone lighting a fire.
"Is it really a roasted whole lamb?" Xu Xianyu was curious.
Roasted whole lamb is very famous in Beiling, but rarely found in Daye.
On the way, Huangfu Cheng said he wanted to roast a whole lamb for her to eat. She thought he was just joking, but she didn't expect it to be true.
"Yeah." Huangfu Cheng gestured for her to look at the sheep that had just been slaughtered on the table not far away.
"That sheep is good, not too fat or too old, and the roasted meat is the most delicious."
Xu Xianyu swallowed and asked, "You're going to bake it yourself?"
"Why not?" Huangfu Cheng raised his eyebrows, "Why, little girl, do you doubt my skill in roasting lamb?
I'm telling you, I'm planning to open a roast lamb shop in Yuancheng to earn money to support you."
Xu Xianyu, “…”
He turned his head to look elsewhere and coughed lightly:
"Go bake it quickly, I'm hungry."
"Okay!" Huangfu Cheng stood up:
"No one can starve you, just wait."
…
Looking at Huangfu Cheng who was busy in front, a smile appeared in Xu Xianyu's eyes.
He's really good to himself.
If he doesn't change, it's not bad to be with him.
The most important thing is that he is an intelligence chief. Being with him can also help the family.
…
late at night.
It is the time when everything is quiet.
Li Shengting and Huangfu Cheng, who were sleeping on the same kang, opened their eyes at the same time.
In the darkness, Huangfu Cheng glanced at Li Shengting and Xu Ziyue lying in his arms, then he slowly stood up.
"You stay here to protect them, and leave those scoundrels to me."
Li Shengting nodded, "Be careful!"
Huangfu Cheng pushed open the door and walked out.
Seeing Xu Qing and the others already standing in the middle of the courtyard, Huangfu Cheng shook his head and lowered his voice:
"You don't have to do anything, just protect them here.
Also, don't wake her up, let her have a good rest."
After saying that, Huangfu Cheng walked directly towards the darkness ahead.
And leaving with him were other people hiding in the darkness.
Soon, the sound of fighting was heard in the distance.
Xu Qing and Qi Zhengfei exchanged glances, and indeed they were not calm, but since they did not have to do anything, they were relieved.
Xu Xianyu had no idea about all this.
She went straight to sleep after eating.
A good sleep brings dawn.
After getting up and having breakfast, she hurriedly packed up and rushed back, so she had no idea what happened last night.
…
Time flies and it is New Year's Eve.
As soon as the sun rose that day, everyone got up and started working.
When the Spring Festival couplets are put up, the air is filled with a strong festive atmosphere.
Lin Mo's study.
"Sister-in-law!" Xu Mengxian came in excitedly, carrying a food box.
"These radish balls are delicious after being fried. I brought some back for you. Come and try them."
As she spoke, she carefully brought out the still-hot radish balls and placed them on the desk for her.
As soon as it was fried, she couldn't help but bring it to her sister-in-law.
Who told her sister-in-law to love eating carrot cake?
After frying, the taste is even better.
"Yes." Lin Mo nodded, "Thank you!"
Then I picked up one and tasted it, and it was indeed delicious.
It is crispy on the outside but tender on the inside, and it locks in the original flavor and sweetness of the radish.
Seeing that she liked it, Xu Mengxian was very happy, “Sister-in-law, I knew you like it.
I just don’t know if my eldest brother likes it. Should I leave some for him? "
Having said that, she glanced outside and sighed:
"It's snowing again. Sister-in-law, do you think my eldest brother can make it back in time to have New Year's Eve dinner with us?"
This is their first New Year since arriving in Mocheng, and she hopes that the whole family can sit together and have a reunion dinner.
Lin Mo glanced outside and shook his head, "I don't know."
If it hadn't snowed, we might have been able to make it, but it started snowing again the day before yesterday, and the road would probably become extremely difficult to travel on.
So, she wasn't sure if he could make it back in time for the New Year's Eve dinner.
Lin Jiuyi stood up and shook his head:
"It doesn't matter if your brother can't make it back tonight. We can just have a reunion dinner when he comes back."
After saying that, she walked directly outside:
"Let's go and see how the preparations are going outside."
This is their first year in Yuancheng and also their first year here, which means a lot to them.
So after thinking about it, she decided to hold a grand reunion banquet so that all the people in Yuancheng could celebrate the New Year together.
They came here because of the Xu family.
"Sister-in-law," Xu Mengxian quickly stopped her:
"Everyone told you not to come out. They will be ready. You don't have to worry about it."
Now her sister-in-law's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and it's snowing, so how dare she let her run around?
The ground is slippery and there are a lot of people around. What should I do if I get bumped into something?
