Chapter 42 Returning Home 2
"You go in first, I'll wait for you outside." Shengxia coughed lightly and turned around to say.
"Okay, I'll be out in a moment." Xia Yanjing knew he should give Shengxia time.
"Young Master, what's wrong with the head of the family? Did I say something wrong?" Shi Tou asked with some concern.
"It's okay, there were just some small misunderstandings. It has nothing to do with you. The misunderstanding has been resolved now." Xia Yanjing was embarrassed to tell Shi Tou that Shengxia misunderstood that they were a couple.
"That's good, young master. Can you take me away when you come back today?" Shi Tou looked at Xia Yanjing eagerly.
"I came here this time just to take you to the general's mansion. Young master, I'm waiting for you to recover from your injury and serve me." Xia Yanjing gave Shitou a shot of confidence.
"Young master, look at my legs. Would you mind helping me pack my bag?" Shi Tou said flatteringly.
"Okay, no problem." Xia Yanjing looked at Shi Tou's silly look. He had no intention of letting Shi Tou clean up by himself.
Shengxia sat on the stone bench, thinking back to Xia Yanjing's confession to him. Shengxia felt a little shy, then touched the scar at the corner of his eye and secretly asked himself, "Does he really not mind?"
Ever since Shengxia learned that Xia Yanjing liked her, she couldn't suppress the joy in her heart. However, Shengxia knew that his current feelings for Xia Yanjing were not love, but a good impression.
There weren't many things from the stone, so Xia Yanjing packed them up quickly. Then Xia Yanjing couldn't wait to find Shengxia.
When I went out, I saw Shengxia sitting on a stone bench, holding her chin in her hand, in a daze. I didn't know what she was thinking about. How come some people look so cute even when they are in a daze?
"Xia Xia, I'm fine. It's almost time for dinner. Let's go." Xia Yanjing walked behind Sheng Xia and said in a gentle voice.
"Okay." Shengxia had regained her previous composure and went to have lunch with Xia Yanjing.
Xia Zhiyong didn't dare to send anyone to urge them, but fortunately, the two of them soon came over side by side and immediately greeted them with a smile.
"The food is ready, please sit down and have your meal." Xia Zhiyong said cheerfully.
During the meal, Xia Yanjing was afraid that Shengxia would feel embarrassed to pick up the food, so he kindly helped Shengxia pick up the food. No one could go hungry, but he must not let his wife go hungry.
After lunch, everyone sat together drinking tea and chatting. Xia Zhiyong took the initiative to say, "Jing'er, you haven't seen your little dad in a few days. Come and see him when you're back today."
"Okay." Xia Yanjing also heard the hidden meaning, and seeing Shengxia nod slightly, he agreed obediently.
However, Xia Yanjing had not seen his biological father for a long time. This time when he came back, he brought a lot of silver to Hongqi. In such a deep and large courtyard, there was nothing more real than silver.
"Madam, the young master is here." Xiaozhu had been waiting at the door since early morning, thinking that Xia Yanjing might come. Xiaozhu saw Xia Yanjing from a distance and excitedly went into the house to inform Hongxi.
"My son is here. Come on, let's go and welcome him together." Hong Xihong stood up immediately after hearing this. He couldn't eat or sleep well after Xia Yanjing married into the general's mansion. He was afraid that Xia Yanjing would be wronged in the general's mansion.
"Dad, I'm here." Xia Yanjing saw Hong Xi coming to the gate of the yard and trotted over.
"Son, come in and sit down." Hong Xi pulled Xia Yanjing into the house and observed Xia Yanjing as they walked.
Hong Xi felt relieved when she saw that Xia Yanjing didn't seem to have changed much and was in a normal state.
The two of them went into the room and sat down. Xiaozhu stood at the door knowingly, allowing them to talk about their true feelings.
"Son, how have you been in the general's mansion these days? Is the general treating you well?" Hong Xi asked with concern.
"Dad, Xia Xia is very good to me. Life there is much more comfortable than in the Marquis' Mansion." Xia Yanjing naturally understood Hong Xi's concerns. After all, he married into a wealthy family.
"That's good, that's good." Hong Xi felt relieved when he heard what Xia Yanjing said. His son was living well, which was better than anything else.
"Dad, I won't be able to take care of you in the general's mansion in the future. Take this money and buy whatever you want. Don't put yourself in a difficult position." Xia Yanjing took out the five thousand taels of silver he had prepared and stuffed it into Hong Xi's hand.
"I don't want it. You keep it for yourself. You have more expenses in the general's mansion." Hong Xi quickly refused.
"Dad, you must take it. I'll tell you in secret..." Xia Yanjing leaned close to Hong Xi's ear and secretly told her that this was the betrothal gift Sheng Xia gave him.
"It's so much." Hong Xi was shocked. He had never seen so much money in his entire life in the Marquis' Mansion.
"Yes, so these five thousand taels are nothing, just accept it." Xia Yanjing pushed the money over again.
Hong Xi was still a little hesitant. He knew that he needed the money, but it was his son's money. Which father didn't want his son to live a better life?
"Oh, please accept it. If you don't, I will be angry." Xia Yanjing had no choice but to cheat.
"Have you discussed this matter with the general?" Hong Xi asked the question that worried him the most.
"We've discussed it. Xia Xia asked me to give it to you." Xia Yanjing gave the credit to Sheng Xia. After all, they were both the most important people to him, and he hoped they could get along happily.
"Jing'er, then daddy won't be polite to you." When Hong Xi heard that Shengxia knew and was willing, he was no longer worried. In addition, he really needed the money, so he finally accepted it.
Seeing Hong Xi accept it, Xia Yanjing felt that the second most important task of the day was completed.
After Xia Yanjing left, Xia Zhiyong couldn't wait to ask Shengxia to fulfill the task he had promised him as soon as possible. He had made a big promise to his colleagues.
"Just go to the Ministry of Industry tomorrow to get your job." Sheng Xia didn't beat around the bush. He would naturally do what he promised Xia Zhiyong.
"Okay, okay, have some tea." Xia Zhiyong couldn't stop smiling after hearing this. He didn't expect that he would end up like this.
"I'm going to look for Yan Jing. Please stay, father-in-law." Sheng Xia didn't want to chat with Xia Zhiyong here. She felt more comfortable chatting with Xia Yanjing.
Xia Zhiyong was naturally willing to get what he wanted. He called the servant and asked him to lead the way to Xiaohong's yard.
"I'm Shengxia, I'm looking for Yan Jing." Shengxia took the initiative to give his name, after all, many people didn't know him.
"Let me go in and report." This was the first time Xiaozhu saw Shengxia. She had only heard of Shengxia's heroic deeds before. Now that she saw the real person, she almost screamed.
"Master, General Sheng is at the door." As Xiaozhu finished speaking, Xia Yanjing stood up and walked towards the door. Seeing Shengxia standing in the yard, Xia Yanjing stepped forward, took Shengxia's hand and walked in.
Shengxia felt that Xia Yanjing seemed to have become bolder after confessing to him, but he didn't hate it at all and let Xia Yanjing pull him in.
