Zheng Xiu didn't say anything, Xue Zhi was a little anxious, "Ah Xiu, what I said is true. If I had anything with her, I will be punished by God..."
Zheng Xiu hurriedly stopped, "Forget it, forget it, I just asked, why are you so nervous."
Xue Zhi: ...
You probably don't know how dark your face is.
As they were talking, Minghui came in from the outside, lifting the curtain, "Second Master, Madam, Xie Xueshi's house sent a visiting card."
It's true that you can't talk about people during the day and ghosts at night. Speak of the devil and he will appear.
"Who is the visiting card for?" Zheng Xiu asked Minghui, but her eyes were looking at Xue Zhi.
Xue Zhi looked innocent.
Minghui said, "It's for the wife."
Xue Zhi immediately said, "Look, it has nothing to do with me. She came to see you."
Zheng Xiu said unhappily, "I only met Miss Xie once. Why did she come to see me for no reason?"
Xue Zhi said helplessly, "How would I know? If you don't want to see her, just go back to her."
"See, why don't I see her?" Zheng Xiu turned to Minghui and said, "Give me the visiting card. I want to see when Miss Xie will come tomorrow."
Xue Zhi: ...
Xie Yi's handwriting is beautiful and elegant. She greeted Xue Zhi and Zheng Xiu very politely, and then said that she would visit them in three days.
Zheng Xiu read the visiting card calmly, then closed it and asked Xue Zhi, "What will happen to you in three days?"
Xue Zhi subconsciously said, "The emperor has given me a month's leave of absence, so I'm fine." Then he noticed that Zheng Xiu's eyes were not right, and immediately changed his words, "Speaking of which, I haven't had a gathering with a few good friends for a long time, so let's get together with them in three days."
"Dad, you are going out, take me with you." Xue Shao, who was sweating after playing outside, came into the house to drink water and happened to hear one ear.
Xue Mian followed closely and said, "Second uncle, take me with you, I want to go too."
Xue Zhi said with a smile, "You two have to follow me to practice martial arts from tomorrow, control your temper, and don't think about playing all day." Did he really want to go to see those injured friends with injuries? It was his wife who forced him to do it!
Xue Shao looked at Xue Mian unhappily, "You want to learn martial arts from my father too?" Then wouldn't he have to confront Xue Mian every day.
Xue Mian said righteously, "My second uncle said he would teach me!"
Zheng Xiu also remembered something, and said to Xue Mian with a smile, "Mian'er, how about Auntie discuss something with you?"
Xue Mian took a step back and said, "Auntie, if you want to say something, just say it directly." Just don't smile like that, it's scary.
"Your mother should have hired a teacher for you, right? You see, your second uncle is now devoting his energy to teaching you, do you think you can give half of the teacher to Shao?"
Xue Mian didn't understand. There was only one teacher, how to divide it? You can't just give half of a living person to Xue Shao. He was willing to cut the student in half, but his mother wouldn't do it.
Xue Zhi then said, "Your auntie meant to let A Shao go to class with you. Do you think that's okay?"
Xue Mian was a little independent, so Xue Zhi and Zheng Xiu were both negotiating with him.
Unexpectedly, Xue Mian said generously, "Okay, let Xue Shao go to class with me."
... Classes are the most boring, it's better to have more people to accompany you! Besides, it's hard work, and seeing Xue Shao suffer with him, he is naturally willing!
Xue Zhi couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, I'll go and tell your mother later. From now on, you will come to Haoye Hall every morning to practice martial arts with A Shao, and go to the front yard to study together after breakfast."
Xue Shao had no objection. When he was at Zheng's house before, he also lived this kind of life. But he was a little unwilling to face Xue Mian every day.
After making this happy decision, Zheng Xiu smiled and said, "Mian'er, it's a rare opportunity for you to come here. Let's stay here for lunch today."
Xue Mian didn't want to go back to Changfeng Garden so soon, so he agreed.
For lunch, they had mutton hotpot. Because Zheng Xiu and the two children couldn't eat spicy food, they used clear soup as the base, and added mahjong, peanut butter, etc. that she asked Baizhu to prepare. After cooking, they could just dip it in the sauce according to their own taste.
Xue Zhi liked to eat salty bean paste mixed with mashed garlic. The two children loved peanut butter. It was Xue Mian's first time to eat hotpot. Because Princess Guihe didn't like mutton, Changfeng Garden had never prepared mutton. In addition, with Xue Shao snatching food next to him, he ate it especially happily.
Not long after the steaming pot was served, the meat and vegetables inside were cleaned out.
Zheng Xiu asked Bai Zhu to bring up thinly sliced mutton and various washed and plated vegetables. There
were not many delicious vegetables in the cold winter, just cabbage, cucumber and other cheap ones. Xue Zhi and Xue Shao usually didn't like to eat vegetables, but preferred meat, so they could only eat some when it was boiled in the pot.
Xue Mian also loved meat, otherwise he wouldn't have grown so plump. But he also ate a lot of cabbage in this meal, and the cabbage absorbed the meaty soup and tasted better than the meat. Dipping it in the peanut sauce that he had never eaten before, he wanted to swallow his tongue whole. Moreover, Xue Mian had never eaten in such a lively atmosphere, so he decided to come more often to eat.
Compared with the lively scene of eating in Haoyetang, Changfengyuan seemed a little deserted.
Xue Qin went out to visit a friend, and Xue Mian asked the maid to send a message saying that he would not be back, so Princess Guihe had dinner alone.
She had her own private chef, who was brought out of the palace when she got married, and he knew her appetite best.
Naturally, the food was all her favorite.
But when the food was served, Princess Guihe had no appetite. She moved her chopsticks a few times and asked Qiurui, "Did Mian'er say when he would be back?"
Qiurui said, "The one who brought the message was just a maid from Hao Yetang. She only said that the Third Young Master would have dinner there, and she didn't tell him anything else."
Princess Guihe didn't ask any more.
Qiurui was helping to serve the food, "This eight-treasure rabbit cubes was your favorite dish in the past."
Princess Guihe took a bite, but felt that the rabbit cubes tasted like chewing wax, so she simply put down her chopsticks, "Forget it, take it away first. I don't have an appetite for anything."
