"Chen Heng, your family has been using either ox carts or horse carriages these past few days. Who is this noble person?" someone in the crowd asked.
"Yes, this horse is obviously a good horse. Even the government office may not have such a good horse."
"Is this carriage worth several dozen taels of silver?"
"A few dozen taels? It's not even enough to buy this horse."
Chen Heng opened the door and called out, "Fellow villagers, clansmen, I've opened a grocery store. If you need anything at home, tell me and I'll deliver it to your door."
After the crowd at the door had dispersed, Chen Heng took on four or five more orders.
When she pushed the door open, she heard little Xie Min's laughter coming from the room.
"Is Ah Heng back?" Xia, who was picking vegetables from the backyard, said happily, "Ah Jian doesn't live in the academy anymore. Xiao Jizi goes back to the government office every day and brings Ah Jian back with him."
Chen Heng was stunned: "College is so good. Coming back every day is such a waste of time. I should focus on my studies." Does this bed have to be divided into half again?
"That's what I said, but my son said that the carriage is fast and a trip takes only one or two incense sticks. You should wash your hands quickly so that you can have dinner." Xia said as she entered the kitchen.
At this time, Meng Xuanlang and Xie Jian walked out of Min'er's room.
"This is just this time, it won't happen again." Xie Jian still had that cold and indifferent expression.
"I came to see Min'er. It's because you only have two rooms. Besides, you were the one who accompanied me into the house, so who dares to gossip?" Meng Xuanlang was speaking when he saw Chen Heng and happily called out, "Sister-in-law."
Chen Heng: “…” Her head ached.
"If you keep yelling, don't come to my house." Xie Jianyu.
"I'm two months older than you, so that's why I'm older than you." Meng Xuanlang said as a matter of course. Seeing Xie Jian's cold eyes drifting towards him, he said: "It's just a name, don't take it to heart."
Chen Heng felt that she should still take it to heart, but it was indeed a small matter: "Little girl, do you want to have dinner here?"
"No, I have to have dinner with my grandfather tonight, so I'm leaving now. Xie Jian, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
The servant waiting at the door had already opened it.
Watching the future minister of remonstration leave in his carriage, Shen Heng looked at Xie Jian's cold and indifferent face. This guy was gentle and polite in front of outsiders, with a smile on his face, but now that he was home, he stopped pretending.
But in front of Meng Dajianchen, he didn't pretend anymore. Chen Heng asked out of curiosity, "You usually smile in front of outsiders, why are you so cold in front of him?"
Xie Jian glanced at her coldly: "He smiles all the time, and my face is sore."
Chen Heng was stunned for a moment, then looked at him awkwardly as he entered the kitchen. Well, that made sense.
On the other side, Meng Xuanlang's eyes welled up as he boarded the carriage. He said to his personal servant, "Xie Jian and his nephew are so pitiful. Tomorrow, please buy me some toys that the children will like."
"Yes. Zi, you are kind-hearted, just take care of us. But the Xie family is just commoners, I don't think there is any need to get too close to them." The servant said.
"My great-grandfather taught us that people are not divided into high and low classes, but character is the most important. This is the first-class knowledge of sages. You must remember it." Meng Xuanlang sniffed.
"Zi, is Xie Jian a very good person?" the servant asked doubtfully.
