Chapter 55 Meeting with Wei Yang
Wei Yang looked up at Xie Zhi without saying anything. As long as he could get through these two days, he would be free.
In the Wei Dynasty, a woman must obey her husband after marriage. Although he was a prince, he was a prince without any backing. His father would not turn against the Zhao family for him, and his younger brother was not having a good time in the palace, so he could not drag his younger brother down any longer.
Wei Yang knew from the beginning that he was isolated and helpless in the Zhao family, and it was Sheng Yuan and his younger brother Wei Rong who supported Wei Yang to persevere.
Fortunately, Wei Rong also began to enter the court this year. On the day of the celebration banquet, Wei Rong proposed to take Wei Yang away, but Wei Yang knew that his brother's strength was limited now and he could not compete with the Zhao family.
Wei Yang didn't want to cause trouble for his brother, so he refused. Now that Sheng Xia is back and is a general with military power, Wei Yang knows that Sheng Yuan no longer needs his protection.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Qiang died before Wei Yang and him could die together. A sense of anticipation arose in Wei Yang's heart, wondering if he could rekindle his past relationship with Sheng Yuan.
Seeing Wei Yang's stubborn attitude, Xie Zhi was so angry that she wanted to hit him, but then she heard the servant outside the door come to tell him something.
"Master, my lord, General Sheng and her husband have come to offer their condolences."
"Okay, stop making trouble." Zhao Quan grabbed Xie Zhi's hand and stopped Xie Zhi's behavior. Xie Zhi stood up reluctantly.
The servant received the order and led Shengxia and Xia Yanjing in. Shengxia saw Zhao Quan and pretended to comfort him, "Prime Minister Zhao, please accept my condolences. I heard today that your son was killed by thieves, so I brought my husband here to offer my condolences."
"Thank you, General Sheng, Mr. Xia." Zhao Quan would not refuse, and led the two to the front of the hall to burn incense.
Xie Zhi came behind Wei Yang and pushed him, indicating that Wei Yang should give the incense to Sheng Xia and Xia Yanjing.
Wei Yang took the incense from the side and placed it in the hands of Sheng Xia and Xia Yanjing. When Sheng Xia took the incense, she held Wei Yang's hand and asked with concern, "Thank you, and I accept your condolences."
Xie Zhi was about to reprimand Shengxia for her behavior, but then she thought, Shengxia is also a boy, and swallowed the words back. Why did she feel like she was having an affair in front of her?
Wei Yang looked up at Shengxia, then lowered his head and returned to his seat.
Shengxia and Xia Yanjing looked at each other, lit a stick of incense, and said goodbye and left.
"Are you nervous?" The two walked out of the Zhao Mansion. Shengxia looked at Xia Yanjing with a smile and asked in a low voice.
"It's so exciting." Xia Yanjing lowered his voice and said excitedly. It was like a meeting between agents.
"Wait for my news tonight." Shengxia looked at Xia Yanjing indulgently.
"It's a pity that I can't go with you. Do you think it's too late for me to practice martial arts now?" Xia Yanjing asked with some disappointment.
"It's too late for you to practice now." Shengxia told the truth.
"All right."
Shengxia felt that Xia Yanjing was like a puppy with its head hanging down. She wanted to reach out and touch his head, but there were too many people on the road, so Shengxia held back.
"I don't have anything to do recently, so why don't I go to your store and see if there is anything I can help with." Shengxia took the initiative to suggest. He planned to give Lan Zhou a try.
"Okay, but I won't pay you." Xia Yanjing joked.
"Okay, I'll work for you as a long-term worker for free." Shengxia said cooperatively.
"That's not necessary. I plan to compensate you in other ways, such as in bed." Xia Yanjing bumped into Shengxia meaningfully.
"Ahem, it's broad daylight, please be careful of the impact." Shengxia looked around quickly and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that no one was paying attention to them.
"Since you didn't refuse, I'll take it as your consent." Xia Yanjing shamelessly made the decision.
"I don't want to pay attention to you." Shengxia couldn't stand Xia Yanjing. Why did he think about this every day after having sex? Shengxia blushed and didn't want to pay attention to Xia Yanjing.
"I was wrong, I was wrong. I won't say anything more. Master, please forgive me." Xia Yanjing continued to show his thick-skinnedness steadily.
"Stop talking nonsense." Sheng Xia couldn't be as shameless as Xia Yanjing after all.
"Enough of that, Xia Xia, do you want to eat some cold noodles? I'll make some for you today." Xia Yanjing immediately made amends.
"Okay." After not eating for two days, Shengxia was a little bit homesick.
The two came to Xia Yanjing's shop, which was closed. Xia Yanjing and Shengxia knocked on the door at the entrance of the yard, and Chang Hao quickly responded and opened the door.
"Boss, I knew it was you." Chang Hao was very surprised to see Xia Yanjing.
"Why can't I see Chang Amo?" Xia Yanjing asked with concern when he saw that only Chang Hao was there.
"Daddy went to ask Aunt Wu to make clothes together. I'll go and call her for you." When Chang Hao heard this, he thought Xia Yanjing wanted to hold him accountable.
"No need, I'm just asking. This is my husband. From now on, you can call him the big boss and I can be the second boss." Xia Yanjing took the initiative to introduce.
"Hello, boss." Chang Hao also shouted obediently.
"Yeah." Shengxia responded gently and stood quietly aside, waiting for Xia Yanjing and Chang Hao to finish their conversation.
"Today I'm here to teach you how to make cold noodles, and then teach you how to make shredded pork noodles and Yangchun noodles. These are the three kinds of noodles we'll sell in our store from now on." Xia Yanjing had already thought about what kind of noodles to sell in the store.
After all, the shop is small and the staff is limited, so there is no need to make it too complicated. Cold noodles are most popular in summer. Yangchun noodles are large in size and filling, suitable for all ages. Shredded pork noodles are ordered by customers who want to improve their meals.
After hearing this, Chang Hao immediately agreed. Whatever the boss said was his business. Moreover, the boss was willing to teach him the skills, which was the greatest affirmation of him.
"But remember, this skill must not be passed on to outsiders. Can you do it?" Xia Yanjing looked at Chang Hao seriously.
"Boss, don't worry. If I reveal the secret recipe to others, I will die a miserable death." Chang Hao also swore seriously.
"Very good, here is 500 coins, the monthly allowance for you and Chang Amo last month." Xia Yanjing took out the money he had prepared long ago from his arms and gave it to Chang Hao.
"Boss, how can this be possible? I haven't done any work this month, how can I get monthly wages?" Chang Hao quickly refused.
"How can you say you haven't worked? It's always been you and Aunt Chang who clean the shop. The last time I came, I saw you wiping the table seriously. Take it quickly, or I'll be angry." Xia Yanjing put the purse directly in Chang Hao's hand, not allowing him to refuse.
"Thank you, boss. I will work hard in the future." Chang Hao said loudly, secretly swearing in his heart that he would follow Xia Yanjing for the rest of his life.
"Do you have flour and noodles at home?" Xia Yanjing forgot to ask the most important thing.
"No, my father and I don't know when you plan to open the business. We're afraid that if we buy it too early, it will get infested with insects and go bad. Boss, please take a seat first. I'll go buy it now." Chang Hao said a little embarrassedly.
"No rush. Since there is no noodles now, I'll come again tomorrow." Xia Yanjing stopped Chang Hao from buying noodles immediately.
"Okay, I'll go buy noodles later." Chang Hao scratched his head innocently.
"Here is one tael of silver. Tomorrow you buy 10 kilograms of flour, two kilograms of lean pork shreds, and some vegetables, fungus, mushrooms, potatoes, and dried tofu. I will teach you how to make noodles tomorrow." Xia Yanjing handed the extra one tael of silver to Chang Hao.
"I will definitely complete the task you assigned me." Chang Hao said seriously.
