Chapter 32 Sending a wheelchair, being interviewed by my brother-in-law
The next day, Xia Yanjing pushed his wheelchair towards Sheng Mansion to visit his brother-in-law.
Xia Yanjing didn't know what his brother-in-law liked, so he went to the most famous Zhenxiu Pavilion in the East Market and bought some fashionable cakes and fruits.
When they arrived at Sheng Mansion, the guards took a look at the token in Xia Yanjing's hand, and one of them went in to report. Sheng Xia soon came out to greet him in person.
Shengxia took the wheelchair and was stunned to see the cakes and fruits on it. This was the first time he had seen someone come to visit him and give him such a simple gift.
"I don't know what my brother-in-law likes to eat, so I just picked out some trendy ones." Xia Yanjing was a little nervous when he came over, wondering if Shengxia would think the gift he brought was too shabby.
The original owner himself had no experience in this area. Based on his experience in his previous life, he usually bought some fruits, milk, etc., and then gave a red envelope. He didn't know if it was too late for him to give a red envelope now.
"Brother can't eat these now. You have to eat something light." Shengxia didn't care what Xia Yanjing gave him. He felt that the thought was more important, and the main thing was that the family didn't lack anything.
"Sorry, I didn't think it through." Xia Yanjing felt a little disappointed.
"It's enough that you have this thought. Besides, I like sweet food. If you don't mind, just give it to me." Shengxia has loved sweet food since he was a child, and the pastries that Xia Yanjing gave him were his favorite from Zhenxiu Pavilion.
"Of course I don't mind." Xia Yanjing didn't know whether Shengxia really liked to eat or was just considering his face. He just felt that his Xia Xia was very considerate.
Shengxia brought Xia Yanjing to the main courtyard. Every time Xia Yanjing saw his brother-in-law, he was a little timid and followed Shengxia closely.
"Lord Sheng, I'm here to see you." Xia Yanjing smiled and said enthusiastically.
Sheng Yuan, with his legs bandaged, was sitting on the headboard. Seeing Xia Yanjing coming, he politely responded, "Mr. Xia, please sit down."
"Brother, Mr. Xia knows that you are recovering from your injury, so he came to see you specially and give you a wheelchair. Doctor Jiang liked your wheelchair very much when he saw it before, so I asked Mr. Xia to make an identical one for Doctor Jiang." Sheng Xia explained to Sheng Yuan.
"The wheelchair that Mr. Xia gave me before is very convenient. I haven't had the chance to say thank you yet." Sheng Yuan still said politely.
"You're welcome. This is what I should do." Xia Yanjing said while secretly looking at Shengxia.
After spending some time together, Sheng Yuan discovered that his fake brother-in-law would stare at Xiao Xia from time to time. As a man himself, he felt that the look was not innocent, but his silly brother seemed to be unaware of it.
"Xiao Xia, go prepare some tea for Mr. Xia." Sheng Yuan said to Sheng Xia deliberately. He also wanted to test Xia Yanjing, but it was inconvenient when Sheng Xia was around.
"You're here just in time. Xiao Xia and I discussed it a while ago, and we're planning to have the wedding on June 15th. What do you think, Mr. Xia?"
"I will listen to my brother-in-law." Xia Yanjing said it smoothly for a moment, and then quickly covered his mouth after speaking.
Sheng Yuan was amused by Xia Yanjing's appearance, "You're right, I will be your uncle soon."
"But I have something to say upfront. After you marry Xiaoxia, she won't stay home like an ordinary man, taking care of her husband and children. Instead, you will be responsible for all matters in the general's mansion. Do you have any objections?"
"No, no, I do." Xia Yanjing nodded like a chick eating rice, with a smile on his face, and no sign of reluctance at all.
"Xiao Xia is an important official in the court. You cannot ignore his wishes and act on your own when it comes to conceiving an offspring. I wonder if Mr. Xia minds." Sheng Yuan looked at Xia Yanjing with a serious expression.
"I don't mind, I don't mind. Even if Xia Xia doesn't want to have a baby, I won't mind." Xia Yanjing quickly shook his head. As a new-age man, he didn't care that much about offspring.
"My Sheng family has an ancestral precept that men cannot take concubines. I believe that Mr. Xia can do it." Sheng Yuan did not speak to Xia Yanjing in a negotiating tone, but to inform him.
Sheng Yuan stared at Xia Yanjing's expression. As long as he showed a hint of dissatisfaction, he would have plenty of ways to make Xia Yanjing an unworthy master of the general's mansion, or make him disappear quietly.
"Yes, yes, yes." Although Xia Yanjing was very nervous under the sharp gaze of his brother-in-law, he still answered firmly.
Xia Yanjing was already influenced by modern monogamy, and he fell in love with Shengxia at first sight, so how could he take a concubine and make Shengxia sad? He wouldn't do such a stupid thing before he got his wife.
"In that case, please remember what you promised me today, Mr. Xia. Otherwise, I can't say what the consequences will be." Although Sheng Yuan was smiling, his eyes were serious.
"Always keep it in mind." Xia Yanjing wanted to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He listened to Sheng Yuan's threatening words. Although he would not cheat, he was a little scared and didn't know what to do.
"Remember what." Shengxia, who went to fetch water, missed the conversation between the two.
"Nothing, just chatting casually, Mr. Xia, have some tea." Sheng Yuan returned to his usual gentle self.
"I don't believe it." Shengxia obviously didn't believe what his elder brother said.
"It's just a casual chat, nothing serious." Xia Yanjing naturally understood that Sheng Yuan sent Sheng Xia away because he didn't want Sheng Xia to know the content of their chat. Of course, he couldn't expose his brother-in-law.
"Okay, brother, you should rest." Sheng Xiaxin would definitely not believe it, but he could probably guess what his brother was saying. It would be better for the two of them not to stay together.
"Then brother-in-law, you should have a good rest. I will come to see you again when I have time." After hearing Shengxia's words, Xia Yanjing tactfully said goodbye and left.
Sheng Xia sent Xia Yanjing away and returned to Sheng Yuan's room, waving everyone away. "I was only gone for a short while, and Mr. Xia is already calling me brother-in-law. You know, this is all just acting, so stop teasing him, brother."
"Xiao Xia, you are wronging me. I didn't ask him to call me that. He wanted to call me that himself." Sheng Yuan felt very wronged.
"I don't care about that. Mr. Xia is young and simple, not a scheming person. Big brother, please don't bully him." Sheng Xia felt that Xia Yanjing was sometimes too simple, and didn't seem like someone who was brought up by a noble family.
"I don't think he has no thoughts." Sheng Yuan said meaningfully.
"No matter what, I feel guilty towards him. Big brother, just don't worry about it." Sheng Xia himself didn't realize that he was now somewhat biased towards Xia Yanjing.
"Okay, okay, then I don't care." Sheng Yuan was a little angry when he heard Sheng Xia's words. It was true that the younger brother was no longer under the control of his elder brother. He forgot about his elder brother after he had a husband.
Since he is not allowed to say it, then he won't say it. He wants to see when his good brother can see clearly that Xia Yanjing has special feelings for him.
