Chapter 177 I'm Not Young Anymore
"At least a few dozen more taels of silver." The best thing about renting a shop in the imperial capital is that there's no annual rent. Just three months' rent is enough. This way, you can save a lot of money. After that, there are all kinds of renovations and purchasing goods. Ah, life is really worth looking forward to. Chen Heng said, "By the way, I ran into Ouyang En the other day."
Then he told her what happened the other day.
Xie Jian's eyes flickered. "Xuan Lang said he had lost contact with him, but I didn't expect him to come to the imperial capital. It seems he has joined the remaining imperial guards."
"I almost didn't recognize him. He's so tall and strong, like a giant." Shen Heng said with a smile.
Seeing the hint of happiness in Ah Heng's eyes, Xie Jian asked curiously, "Are you so happy to meet him?"
"It's a pleasure to meet a friend I haven't seen for a long time." Shen Heng lowered her head and continued to keep accounts, recording every penny. Ouyang En and Lord Lu were quite similar in some ways.
Xie Jian sat down next to her and took a book to read. "We'll go hunting in the Royal Taran Enclosure in five days. You and I will go together."
"Royal hunting? Does that mean I can see the emperor?" Chen Heng was very excited. She had been a commoner for two lifetimes, but now she could see the emperor.
Xie Jian glanced at her and said, "If I'm lucky, I might be able to see him." Even he had to rely on luck to see the emperor now. At least until now, he hadn't seen him. He paused and said, "Min'er will come tomorrow."
Speaking of Min'er, both of them were a little worried about their sister-in-law. Since Xie Jian told his sister-in-law about the eldest brother of the Xie family, he didn't let Min'er come for a whole month, for fear that it would arouse his sister-in-law's unstable emotions.
My sister-in-law also understood this, so she didn't mention Min'er.
But it is impossible to prevent Min'er from coming all the time, and for Min'er, he will definitely miss his mother if he doesn't see her for a month.
Chen Heng said, "I won't go to the shop tomorrow. I'll stay at home with Min'er and my sister-in-law." Originally, the shop was to be opened in the next few days, but she still calculated the auspicious time, which was mid-July.
She planned to visit the Temple of the God of Wealth before opening the store, as she had to have a sense of ritual.
"Aheng." Xie Jian gently held Chen Heng's hand and said softly, "Thank you."
"What's there to thank for?" Chen Heng pulled her hand away. She was so gentle all of a sudden. She was more used to speaking in a cold and indifferent manner as usual.
Xie Jian pursed his lips. He didn't like the way she always avoided him. He pulled her hand over and held it again: "What's wrong with touching it?"
Shen Heng withdrew her hand: "What's the matter?"
Xie Jian pulled her over again and looked at her stubbornly: "I'm going to hit you."
Shen Heng felt that Xie Jian had been very childish this year, constantly contradicting her. Was he reaching his rebellious phase? She simply let him hold onto her hand while calculating with the other. He would let go of her when the time came.
A smile flashed in Xie Jian's eyes. The tricks in the book worked for Xuan Lang's wife, but not for his Ah Heng. It hurt his cheek, but it was okay now. If Ah Heng woke up every day, she would be used to the intimacy between the two of them.
Tall and straight.
The next day, the weather was sunny and the summer was thin.
Min'er returned home early.
"Mother, Auntie," little Xie Min rushed into the door and threw himself into Xia's arms.
When she saw her son, Xia's eyes were filled with tears and complicated thoughts came to her mind.
"Mom, why are you crying?" Xiao Min'er wiped her mother's tears with both hands. "Is it because you missed me too much after not seeing me for a month?"
"Yes. Mother misses you."
