Chapter 70 Supporting My Father
The three little ones were still sitting there eating melon seeds. Xiaozhu only dared to bark and didn't dare to do anything to them.
Xiaozhu naturally knew that he couldn't do anything to them, so she walked out with a tray to add water.
The moment Xiaozhu walked out, she saw Xia Yanjing standing outside the door, and her heart suddenly felt reassured.
"Master, you're back." Xiaozhu shouted in surprise.
The three Momos, who had their backs to the gate, turned around and looked back after hearing Xiaozhu's words.
"Oh, Xiaozhu, look, I didn't even see you. Give me the tray, I'll go get some water." One of the little ones was very considerate and stepped forward to take the tray. Then, they left with a smile on their face. Their attitude was so nice.
Xiaozhu couldn't help rolling her eyes. These three people were really good at pretending. It was disgusting.
"Young Master, come in quickly. The concubine talks about you every day." Xiaozhu didn't want to bother with them anymore and enthusiastically welcomed Xia Yanjing in.
Hong Xi was busy embroidering inside. She seemed to hear Xiao Zhu calling "Young Master". She put down the work in her hands and walked towards the door. Halfway through, she ran into Xia Yanjing who was coming in.
"Jing'er, it's really you. Daddy thought he had heard it wrong." Hong Xi said happily.
Then he saw Shitou behind Xia Yanjing and asked with concern, "Is Shitou's injury healed?"
"Madam, everything is fine." Shi Tou patted his chest and said with a smile.
"Come in and sit down." Hong Xi enthusiastically pulled Xia Yanjing into the room.
"Look, this is the clothes Daddy made for Xia Xia. Take a look." After Xia Yanjing sat down, Hong Xi immediately walked to the cabinet, opened it, and took out the finished clothes.
Xia Yanjing first set his eyes on the first piece of clothing. It was a pale green robe, fresh and elegant, like the first buds of spring. The material of the robe was soft and smooth, as if you could feel the gentle touch of the breeze.
A closer look reveals the plum blossoms and auspicious clouds embroidered on the robe, which are truly eye-catching. The plum blossom petals are delicate and lifelike, each one so vivid that you can almost smell its delicate fragrance. The auspicious clouds are outlined in gold thread, with smooth and natural lines, adding a touch of luxury to the entire garment.
Xia Yanjing then shifted his gaze to the second piece of clothing. It was a royal blue robe, deep and mysterious, like the stars in the night sky. The texture of the robe was equally high-quality, smooth as silk, and felt wonderful to the touch.
The orchids and linked beads embroidered on this royal blue gown are equally exquisite. The orchid's stamens are embroidered with silver thread, while the petals are outlined with light blue silk thread, creating a fresh and elegant look. The linked beads are interwoven with colorful silk threads, creating a vibrant and vibrant pattern that resembles a string of pearls, adding a touch of liveliness and agility to the garment.
"Wow, Dad, you are so skillful. Is the second one for me?" Xia Yanjing couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement.
"You're overthinking it. These two pieces belong to Xia Xia. Go back and take the clothes with you so Xia Xia can try them out to see if they fit you." Hong Xi mercilessly told Xia Yanjing the truth.
"Dad, can you make me a royal blue robe later? This one looks so handsome." Xia Yanjing said expectantly.
"No, I'm busy making the third one for Xia Xia." Hong Xi refused mercilessly.
Xia Yanjing leaned over to take a look. The pattern of the clothes had been completed and was being embroidered. There was a bamboo pattern embroidered on it. It seemed that his father was planning to collect the plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.
"Then I'll get in line and wait until this one is finished. Then it will be my turn."
"I'm busy, I still have to make some more shoes for Xia Xia. It doesn't matter what you use as a grown man." Hong Xi said biasedly.
"Okay then." Xia Yanjing felt a little disappointed, but these were all made for his wife. Just thinking about seeing his wife wearing them made him happy.
"Madam, Young Master, the tea is here." Momo, who had just taken the initiative to serve tea, walked in directly and said with a smile on her face.
"Yu Momo, put it down." Hong Xi didn't want to waste time with her son and just wanted to send him away quickly.
"Wait." Xia Yanjing stopped Yu Momo who was about to leave.
"Master, what do you want me to do for you?" Yu Momo stood there obediently, waiting for orders.
"Have you learned all these rules by heart?" Xia Yanjing said seriously.
Yu Momo's smile disappeared from her face, and then her expression turned cold. In his opinion, he was the master's man, and their second young master was already married. He was only doing this for the sake of the fact that the second young master was married to the great general who defended the country. He didn't dare to do anything to them.
"Come here, bring these three unruly servants to my father. I would like to ask my father if this is the rule in our mansion."
Xia Yanjing will not tolerate it. He must stand up for his father this time. He wants to let them know that his father is protected by someone. Let's see who dares to bully him in the future.
Yu Momo panicked when she heard this. Their daily acts of bullying the master were secretly allowed by the master, but everything was kept secret from the master. If the master knew about this, not only would the master not protect them, he would also push them out to take the blame.
"Master, please spare my life. I know I was wrong and I won't do it again." Yu Momo quickly knelt down and begged.
Seeing that Xia Yanjing didn't say anything, Yu Momo came to Hong Xi. Their master was very patient, and he would definitely forgive them if they begged him.
"Jing'er, this..." Hong Xi has always been a soft-hearted person. When he heard Yu Momo begging him, although he didn't want to help, he didn't know what to do.
"Dad, don't worry about it. Leave this matter to me." Xia Yanjing patted Hong Xi's hand soothingly and said comfortingly.
"Just listen to Jing'er." Hong Xi felt relieved after hearing what Xia Yanjing said.
The six guards brought by Xia Yanjing just pushed the three Momo in front of Xia Zhiyong, but Xia Yanjing also guessed that Xia Zhiyong might favor the three Momo.
"What's going on?" Xia Zhiyong was confused. He watched as Xia Yanjing and the guards escorted Momo from the Marquis' Mansion to his door.
"Father, I just went to visit you. When I arrived at the door, I saw these three evil servants neglecting their duties and disobeying orders. What do you think we should do with them?" Xia Yanjing recounted what had just happened in a few words.
"It is true, but these three are old people in the mansion, so just fine them one month's salary." Xia Zhiyong said pretending to be angry.
Xia Yanjing knew that Xia Zhiyong would try to smooth things over. After all, these three people were sent by Fang Yu, and Xia Zhiyong couldn't have been unaware of it. This only meant that Xia Zhiyong tacitly approved of some of them.
"Isn't the punishment father gave too light? If servants like them who neglected their duties were punished so lightly, if it were to get out, they would only laugh at the Marquis's lax management of the household." Xia Yanjing immediately retorted.
