Chapter 119 Yijie
As the man entered the restaurant, a man followed him.
"Master, this restaurant looks ordinary. I found a place for you to rest a long time ago. The restaurant is also magnificent, which is worthy of your majesty."
As soon as the man finished speaking, Nangong Jin raised his eyebrows and burst into laughter: "Cheng Cheng, where did you get this smell of money from? Could it be that you have already eaten in that magnificent restaurant before coming here? You are so brave!"
The man called Cheng Cheng's face darkened, and he glared at Nangong Jin unhappily: "Of course I am not a child of aristocratic family like Lord Nangong. I started from scratch. But if you want to accuse me of eating selfishly, I can't afford it."
When Nangong Jin heard this, he was about to retort but was stopped by the man next to him and shook his head at him.
Xu Miaomiao looked in the direction he was looking and saw that the person who stopped him was the prince who came last time. It seemed that the people who came today were not people he could afford to offend, so he had to be careful.
Just as some cold dishes were served, Xu Miaomiao caught a glimpse of two small figures downstairs. They were Dabao and Li Yi who came together.
When the two saw Xu Miaomiao, they stood up and saluted her.
"My son has been away for a long time. Is mother okay?" Dabao looked at Xu Miaomiao and spoke slowly.
"Yes, Master, is everything okay?"
Li Yi also came out and asked, looking at Xu Miaomiao.
Xu Miaomiao's eyes were slightly red. The two children were no longer in her arms. They had only been separated for a few months, but when she saw the children again, she felt as if she was in another world.
Comparing Dabao's head with Xu Miaomiao, she was somewhat relieved: "Looking at it this way, he has grown a lot taller than during the Chinese New Year. Don't worry, I'm fine at home. But are you taking good care of yourselves outside?"
"us……"
Li Yi was about to reply when a male voice broke the warm atmosphere.
"You must be the traveling merchant woman they were talking about!"
Following the direction of the voice, I saw the boy, who was no more than eleven or twelve years old. He was dressed in brocade clothes, with a piece of mutton-fat jade on his waist and a sword in his hand. It looked like a pair with Dabao's sword.
Seeing the person coming, Dabao stepped in front of Xu Miaomiao and rubbed his fingers on the sword repeatedly.
Li Yi also stepped forward and said to the boy angrily: "What are you doing here?"
"Hey, hey, hey." The boy crossed his arms and said disdainfully: "Mr. Nangong is here, where else can I be if I'm not here? As for you, I would be so ashamed if I were to get involved with a woman who is a merchant."
"Who is this young man?"
Sensing that the atmosphere between the few people was not right, Xu Miaomiao spoke tentatively.
The boy raised his chin and said proudly, "I am Cheng Yijie, the eldest disciple of Mr. Nangong. My father is Cheng Cheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. My mother is Xie Changyun, the Princess of Duanyi. My grandmother is a first-rank lady. I am different from you guys who have no background. My mother's family has been officials for three generations. If you dare to bully me, someone will not let you go."
Xu Miaomiao listened to this series of opening remarks and felt that it sounded familiar. Isn’t this another version of My Dad is Li Gang?
I was amazed repeatedly in my heart, this child with a background is really different.
"Cheng Yijie, how many times do you have to say this?" Li Yi said impatiently, "If I were you, I would rush to make a name for myself. Although Mr. Nangong accepted you first, you still can't beat me and Dabao."
"What are you talking about!" Cheng Yijie took out the sword in his hand angrily and shouted: "If you don't believe me, let's have a fight!"
Just as he was about to step forward, Dabao took out his sword and blocked him, knocking him to the ground. However, his hand was bruised by the sword and said, "Have you had enough of this?"
Dabao said unhappily while looking at the person on the ground.
Cheng Yijie, who was lying on the ground, was already aggrieved, and now he was yelled at, his eyes were slightly red: "Shen Zhiyuan, you dare to hit me!"
The Shen Zhiyuan he mentioned was Dabao's full name. Although it sounded nice, Xu Miaomiao was still used to calling him Dabao.
Dabao frowned slightly, stared at the boy on the ground and said, "You were the one who started the trouble. Even if Mr. Nangong pursues the matter, I'm not afraid!"
"You!" Cheng Yijie was so angry that he couldn't speak. He could only stand up and pat the dirt off his body: "Just wait, I'll let my dad teach you a lesson!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he ran away, afraid that Dabao would hit him again.
Xu Miaomiao felt a little distressed when she saw Dabao's injured hand. She picked it up and blew on it: "Mom, blow on it and it will stop hurting."
This series of operations made Dabao blush and said with embarrassment: "Mom, I'm grown up and I'm not afraid of pain anymore."
Xu Miaomiao was furious when she heard this: "You little bastard, no matter how old you are, you are still my mother's treasure. You must not get hurt!"
Hearing this, Dabao blushed and nodded.
At that time, Li Yi frowned and said, "If we fight him this time, I'm sure we'll suffer again."
"Oh?" Xu Miaomiao asked curiously after hearing this: "Do you often quarrel? Did Cheng Yijie bully you?"
"It's more than just bullying." Li Yi said dissatisfiedly, "He has disliked us for a long time. It's okay in front of Mr. Nangong, but when Mr. Nangong is not around, he joins other people in the academy to sprinkle water on our quilts, cut our cotton clothes, and put nails in our shoes. Even if we can hide again and again, how can we keep an eye on them all the time? And his father also doesn't like us. When we come to the academy, he makes us stand in line, and..."
"Enough!" Dabao suddenly interrupted Li Yi.
Xu Miaomiao's eyes gradually dimmed as she listened, and she touched Dabao's head distressedly: "I thought you were living well in the capital, but I didn't expect that you would be squeezed by others."
"Mom, don't listen to Li Yi." Dabao looked at the woman in front of him and said slowly: "We didn't suffer much. Every time we competed, we would beat Cheng Yijie to a pulp. He didn't dare to provoke us."
Tears slowly flowed from her eyes. Xu Miaomiao touched Dabao's head with some heartache: "Don't worry, mother has a way to solve this matter."
After treating the wound on Dabao's hand, Xu Miaomiao got up and went to the kitchen.
"Master, I'll go with you!"
Li Yi followed behind him, feeling somewhat happy. Cooking was his hobby, and he missed cooking a little after not having done anything for such a long time.
As soon as I arrived in the kitchen, I caught Lan Yin eating secretly.
"Lan Yin, what are you doing?" Xu Miaomiao asked as she looked at the little girl with her hands behind her back.
Lan Yin shook her head awkwardly: "I didn't do anything."
The girl, who had just been well-behaved, was suddenly ignited when she saw the light in Li Yi's eyes. She put the lion-awake pastry in her hand on the plate and immediately ran to Li Yi.
