Chapter 207 The Only Way
"Yes. He even praised my dumplings while we were eating them." Xia was also surprised. Ajian was never picky about food. He would eat whatever she cooked and finally said that his sister-in-law had worked hard. He was not used to being praised like this today. "Aheng, you woke up. Is Ajian happy about this?"
"Maybe it's more satisfying in the morning." Chen Heng smiled. It seems that this kid is still susceptible to this trick. Seeing a lot of dishes on the ground, she asked: "Sister-in-law, are there any guests coming today?"
"Ajian said when he went out just now that the teacher and others would come in the evening. I haven't seen the teacher for a long time. He is a great benefactor to our Xie family." Xia always thought of the teacher's kindness in her heart. Since the teacher was coming, she naturally took out all the delicious food and drinks.
Chen Heng nodded. If it weren't for the teacher, she wouldn't be able to bring Xie Jian back by herself.
The shop had recovered a lot of business since the third day of the Lunar New Year. Most people liked to go shopping when visiting relatives and friends. However, it was the Spring Festival after all, so Chen Heng usually asked the shop assistants to close the shop early and go home to visit relatives.
When she returned home in the afternoon, Lu Ji'an, Meng Xuanlang, Wu Jin, Gu Feng, Yu Wei and others were already there.
Gu Feng and Yu Wei were competing in martial arts, while Wu Jin, Lu Ji'an, Meng Xuanlang and others were watching from the side.
"Sir." Shen Heng stepped forward and bowed.
I haven't seen the Master for a long time. He is still as gentle and elegant as before. Although his smile is faint, I feel at ease.
Lu Ji'an met Chen Heng's bright and smiling eyes, nodded slightly, and without saying much, turned his gaze to Gu Feng and Xu Wei who were fighting.
Chen Heng missed the time when she first met this man, chatting and laughing. She had taken care of him twice. Perhaps she was too open about it? But you can't take care of a sick and injured person from a distance.
At this time, Xie Jian had just walked out of his room, holding two files in his hands. Seeing Ah Heng coming back, his eyes softened: "Master, I found you."
"Let's go to the study." Lu Ji'an said as he walked towards the study: "Xuan Lang."
"I'm here." Meng Xuanlang turned to Chen Heng and said, "Sister-in-law, Yun Zhao's belly is too big and it's inconvenient for her to move around, so she won't be coming today. She asked you to go talk to her when you're free."
"Okay." Shen Heng nodded.
Wu Jin looked at the three people leaving and shook his head: "It's New Year's Day, and you still have to look at the files. Aren't you tired? Can't you just take a day off?"
Shen Heng also agreed with this.
The dishes for dinner were all Xia's best dishes. Since the nanny came to her house, she had learned many dishes from her that she had never heard of before. Now that her conditions were better and she could afford to buy fish and meat, she showed off her cooking skills tonight.
There were no outsiders present, so Chen Heng also sat down with everyone to have dinner.
As the first glass of wine after the meal, everyone toasted Lu Ji'an.
"Uncle Ji An is not only my mentor who taught me, but also my teacher. So this cup is to pay tribute to my teacher." Meng Xuanlang drank the whole wine in his hand.
Wu Jin uttered an exclamation: "Master Lu should have been no more than fourteen or fifteen years old at that time."
"Yes. Uncle Ji An had finished reading all the works of various philosophers before he was thirteen years old." Meng Xuanlang said proudly.
"Student master!" Shen Heng looked at Lu Ji'an with admiration, a look that made people look up to him. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Xie Jian looking at her, but she ignored him. He just liked her. What's wrong with that? Didn't Wu Jin look at the teacher like that too?
"When Xuan Lang was a child, he took his great-grandfather's handwritten notes every day and said that he wanted to be a censor like his great-grandfather. I believe that you will definitely become the best censor in the Great Cong Dynasty in the future." Lu Ji'an said with a smile.
