Chapter 047 This is a real man
"Then you still owe me an apology." Chen Heng put the small medicine bottle into her arms and looked at him seriously: "You admitted your mistake to your sister-in-law, but I was the one who was hurt. If you really feel that you are wrong, you should apologize to me."
What’s the point of just sending some medicine?
Xie Jian thought for a moment, bowed, and said without hesitation, "Aheng, I was wrong. I will never do such a thing again."
Chen Heng: "..." This attitude changed so quickly, it's hard to adapt.
Xie Jian sat down, picked up his chopsticks and ate quietly.
He eats slowly, taking one mouthful of rice and one mouthful of vegetables. He never eats too much or takes more than he can chew.
When Xie Jian put down his bowl and chopsticks, he looked at the eggs beside the earthen stove. Juzi asked, "Why are there so many eggs and oranges at home?"
"It was given by my tribe."
Just when Chen Heng thought Xie Jian would definitely let her return them, he just stared at the three baskets with a cold gaze. When he looked at Chen Heng, his expression softened a little: "I'm going to prepare clothes for school tomorrow."
Tribe? To him, there were only family, outsiders, and enemies.
"Sister-in-law baked a few pancakes for you and put them in the small rice basket. Don't forget to eat them tomorrow morning."
"knew."
After watching Xie Jian leave the kitchen, Shen Heng began to clean up. Her sister-in-law had already cleaned the kitchen when she went to the clinic, so she only had to wash Xie Jian's dishes. While washing, she thought about how this kid had changed in the past two days.
Yes, after so many things happened, it would be abnormal not to change.
The next day, the air was frosty and the weather was getting colder, but the sun was shining brightly.
Xie Jianqian originally wanted to go alone, but Xia was worried, afraid that something might happen again. She had to take care of her son, so she asked Chen Heng to see him enter the academy before returning.
Just as the two of them walked out of the north gate, a yamen runner came over and said, "Xie Jian, Lord Lu is waiting at the foot of the city wall. Please come in with your wife." Then he took the backpack from his shoulder.
"Brother Yamen Runner, will the Master also want to go to the Academy later?" Chen Heng asked.
"Yes. His Excellency said you can just ride in his carriage."
That’s great, Chen Heng looked very happy. She felt really uncomfortable sitting in that carriage. If it weren’t for the time issue, she really wanted to just walk.
Lu Ji'an stood beside the steps of the city wall, wearing a long green robe. He looked up slightly at the eight or nine meter high wall in front of him, thinking about something.
"Sir." Xie Jian bowed.
Shen Heng bowed.
Lu Ji'an nodded and said with a smile, "Come with me to the city wall to take a look."
This was Chen Heng's first time on the city wall. On the wall, there was a soldier every two steps. They were not wearing armor like in the TV shows, but just ordinary military uniforms. There were also two huge flagpoles, and no one knew what they were used for.
The view suddenly widened, and the mountains in the distance rose and fell in a rhythmic pattern. In the near distance, the moat gurgled, and even closer, caravans and civilians lined up in a long queue outside the city gate, waiting to enter.
"This is our Nanming County." Lu Ji'an's gentle voice came.
Xie Jian and Shen Heng followed his gaze and saw a bustling city full of vitality and vigor.
Entering from the city gate is a wide street, with people coming and going on both sides, shoulder to shoulder, and cars and horses flowing continuously in the middle. There are shops lined up on the roadside, vendors gather, shouts and cheerful sounds one after another. If you listen carefully, you can even hear the sounds of bargaining clearly.
The road extended into two busy streets, which were connected by alleys, forming a county with the government office as the center.
"Nanming County was originally just a village with maybe a dozen households." Lu Ji'an looked at Xie Jian and said, "It took more than three hundred years of development to become what it is today."
