Chapter 218 Two Sweet Little Ones
Those who are close to vermilion will not necessarily become red, but those who are close to ink will definitely become black.
It is hard for people who spend a long time with Jiang Xinyu not to be influenced by her.
Especially this mental state.
It was fine in front of outsiders, but in front of people close to him, even Xiao Yuan showed a lot of bad taste.
He never doubted his godson's filial piety, but he disliked the boy for his quick temper and lack of stability.
In the past, I always lectured him in a very stern manner, but now it’s quite fun to tease him a little.
At this time, Ye Xiao had long forgotten the purpose of his trip, and was still smiling foolishly when Xiao Yuan drove him away.
Especially when he returned to the Governor's Mansion, he couldn't help but hug the congratulatory seal.
This made Mr. He, who was in a good mood, so excited that he touched his head, thinking that he had a fever.
Ye Xiao slapped He Zhang's hand away and snorted complacently.
"You just got a fever. I'm glad."
I could see it, and she was not just happy. Even the ending of her hum had a coquettish tone.
He Zhang has a very high EQ, so I quickly followed up the conversation and asked him what he was happy about.
Ye Xiao couldn't suppress his smile and his whole body seemed to be filled with bubbles of happiness. If he had a tail, it would have been visible by now.
"I went to the palace to see my adoptive father, and he told me to choose a house to rebuild into a mansion.
My stepmother said that as long as my stepfather didn't remarry, I would be the only son in the family.
She has asked my adoptive father to write a petition asking for me to be conferred the title of Heir to the Marquisate.
Once the Hou Mansion is renovated and Qiao Qian moves in, I will be officially included in the family tree.
From then on, I took my adoptive father's surname and he also gave me a new name.
It seems to be from "Zhuangzi". When I am included in the family tree, my name will be Xiao Mo."
Xiao Mo
He Zhang thought for a moment, "Is it from the chapter "Zhuang Zi Zai Yu"?
The dragon appears when the corpse dies, the thunder roars when the abyss is silent, the governor’s name is Yuan, so he gave you the word “silent”.
"Yes, yes, that's it. I was so excited at the time that I didn't pay attention."
Ye Xiao gave a thumbs-up to the congratulatory post he admired.
"It is a waste of talent for He Da, a man of great learning, to be a thousand-householder in Dongchang.
So... do you want to change your job?"
At this time, Ye Xiao's eyes were moving like a cunning little fox, which made He Zhang's mouth dry for a while.
In order not to scare the baby He Zhang who had finally touched the edge, he did not dare to stare at it.
While pouring water for Ye Xiao, he asked him tactfully whether he wanted to promote him.
With He Zhang's smarts, he can do anything and he has no obsession with his future.
If he was greedy, he would not have ignored the imperial examination and went to work in the East Factory. In his heart, Ye Xiao was much more important than his future.
He said this only to please Xiao Ye, and even when handing over the teacup, he pretended to be flattering and said that he relied a lot on Mr. Ye's support.
In the past few days, their relationship has progressed by leaps and bounds, as if they have returned to the time before He Zhang confessed his feelings.
Ye Xiao also liked to joke with He Zhang more and more. He took the teacup, took a sip and threw a wink.
"Then it depends on your performance. Massage my shoulders first."
He Zhang was eager to get close to him, so he said a small "Yes, sir" and really started to pinch Ye Xiao.
"My Lord, is this strength comfortable?
What position do you plan to give the younger one?
Or I can be your servant, no salary required, just food provided.
If you can serve me personally, even if you bring your own dry food, that's fine."
Ye Xiao laughed so hard that tears came out when he saw how well he acted. He held his hand and said, "As long as you work hard, the prince will love you in the future."
He Zhang took advantage of the situation and leaned on Ye Xiao's shoulder, telling jokes to make him laugh, but there was a kind of tenderness that could drown people.
Ye Xiao didn't pay attention at first, but when he inadvertently saw his look, he was stunned for a moment and his laughter stopped abruptly.
Afterwards, my face turned red and my voice became weak.
"Well... the Regent asked you to go and help him.
It seems to be the Dali Temple or the Ministry of Justice. They said you are smart and professional and suitable for the position.
If you don't want to go, just tell him and ask your stepfather to change you to where you want to go.
You can also find a stepmother. The Prince Regent and his stepmother are sworn brothers.
You can call him uncle when you see him."
He Zhang smiled and said, "Why can I call the Regent uncle?"
Where does this come from?
Where do you start?
Of course, from my perspective...
Damn, Ye Xiao wanted to cover his face. What kind of bullshit is he talking about?
The boy slipped up for a moment and felt so embarrassed that he dug his toes into the ground and wanted to run away.
He Zhang hugged him from behind, rested his head on his shoulder and laughed darkly.
"Xiao Ye, I'm very happy, even happier than the day I saw the rankings.
My feeling now is the same as when you just heard the governor say that you would change your last name."
If Ye Xiao were to be described in any other way, he would probably find it difficult to empathize, but after being told this way, he understood.
After years of anticipation, I finally got what I wanted. I was so happy, excited, and wanted to cry with joy.
Ye Xiao suddenly didn't want to spoil the mood of the congratulatory seal, so he just let him hug him and nodded softly.
But this guy seemed to be too excited and kept hugging me.
Ye Xiao was almost sweating, and couldn't help but push gently.
"Don't hug me, it's hot, go sit aside.
The Regent said he is almost too busy to handle everything, so if your arm is fine, hurry up and go."
Then he added awkwardly, "If you don't go, I won't have the time to accompany you all the time. My adoptive father asked me to renovate the mansion."
"Okay, I'll listen to Xiaoye and I'll go there this afternoon.
Xiao Ye is now the son of the Marquis of Zhenguo. How can I not work hard?"
Ye Xiao felt a little embarrassed by his gaze and quickly changed the subject.
"Well... the Left Prime Minister's Mansion and the Second Prince's Mansion have both been confiscated and are still sealed. Which one do you think is suitable to be the Marquis' Mansion?
If this mansion is to be expanded now, at least half a street will have to be demolished, which is too troublesome.
My godfather meant to just pick up a ready-made one and fix the parts that exceed the rules."
Ye Xiao touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly.
"My stepmother said that sooner or later it will be mine, whatever I like."
He Zhang chuckled, "This time I'm willing to call you stepmother, it doesn't feel awkward anymore."
Ye Xiao was a little embarrassed by what he said, and snorted coldly, pretending to be tough.
"My stepfather and stepmother didn't expose my shortcomings, why are you still holding on to them?
Wasn’t it because I was young and ignorant that I was misled? "
Ye Xiao's voice suddenly became much softer, "Besides, my stepmother has promised that I am the only son in the family.
If I am not filial to her, she will be very pitiful in the future."
He Zhang was afraid that Ye Xiao would get angry and embarrassed, so he quickly suppressed his laughter and pretended to make two deep "hmm" sounds to indicate that what Ye Xiaoye said was right.
In fact, he really wanted to laugh.
The Governor's wife is one year younger than Xiao Ye. Can she really count on him to take care of her in her old age?
But he couldn't say that, otherwise he would annoy Xiao Ye and get kicked out.
He is so satisfied with their progress now that he must not commit suicide.
Xiao Ye has become more and more accustomed to his presence and has tacitly accepted their relationship as a couple.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have subconsciously asked me to call the Regent Uncle, and he wouldn't have discussed the decision of the future palace with me.
Although these were just casual inquiries, they just showed that Xiaoye regarded him as a family member.
In addition, the governor and his wife have always been optimistic about him. He Zhang feels that it won't be long before he and Xiao Ye can live together in harmony.
Ye Xiao has always recognized He Zhang's wisdom and has full confidence in his vision.
The future mansion will be used for decades, and his adoptive parents entrusted him with such a big task out of trust, and he doesn't want to mess it up.
Ye Xiao knows himself well. He asked He Zhang to get closer to him and to acknowledge his ability.
