Chapter 154 Could it be said that Miss Xie likes to eat?
Xie Yixiao led Rong Ci all the way to Qingwei Garden. On the way, the two of them were a little embarrassed and didn't know how to speak.
Xie Yixiao pinched his sleeves, feeling that continuing to remain silent was not an option, so he asked him: "How is the Ninth Young Master doing lately?"
"It's pretty good." He looked at the road ahead with soft eyebrows, "It's just a little busy sometimes. Where's Miss Xie?"
"Me, I'm pretty good too. I have a few things to do, but it's not really busy." She has made a few things recently, and she is just waiting to invite Chen Baishao to come over and take a look. If there are no problems, she will take a look then.
Let's see if we can rent a shop or let someone set up a stall first to try it out.
Although she married Rong Ci, she might not have to worry about money in her whole life, but she still had to make money. Firstly, she really liked doing this, and secondly, she wanted to have her own foundation and didn't want to rely on anyone to live her life.
.
It's just that she doesn't dare to go out recently.
"Actually, I have something to ask the Ninth Young Master."
He turned to her and asked: "What is it?"
Xie Yixiao hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "I would like to ask the Ninth Young Master to send two people over. One of them will keep an eye on my eldest cousin Gu You, and the other will keep an eye on me."
"I'm not going to hide it from you. My eldest cousin is a troublemaker. I'm afraid that something will happen to her, so I just want someone to follow her when she goes out and stop her when she causes trouble."
"As for me, I always feel like someone is staring at me, looking for someone to pay attention to me."
"Someone is staring at you?" Rong Ci frowned slightly and his face became colder, "When did this happen?"
Xie Yixiao was not sure himself: "Actually, I don't know. I occasionally feel this way, but I don't know if it's true or not. Maybe it's just my misunderstanding. It's hard for me to tell my elders, for fear of worrying them.
"
She was still confused about the paper ball and Xiaozhuang Xiaomo's sudden visit to Shou'antang, feeling that there was someone secretly there.
Rong Ci said: "You should have told me about this earlier."
He squeezed his palms, feeling a little worried. If it was true, then it would be too late if something happened.
Xie Yi smiled and couldn't help but soften her tone. She said: "I'm waiting for you at home. I haven't gone out these days, and I've always been safe. Although the Xie family is not as good as
In the past, it was considered safe in the mansion."
"Now I'm not telling you, you have to help me."
Rong Ci was very helpful. He nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will make arrangements when you get back. Your affairs are my affairs. If there is anything else in the future, you need to tell me earlier."
Xie Yixiao knew what kind of temper he was. It might be a little difficult to listen to his coaxing words, but he would naturally have no problem asking him to do anything.
Xie Yixiao thought for a while and added: "But I don't know whether he is an enemy or a friend. If there is such a person, don't hurt him and just find out the matter."
"good."
The two walked all the way to Qingwei Garden, and then sat down at a stone table next to a peach tree. The peaches were already ripe now. Xie Yu came over to pick a few when he had free time, and Xie Yiling also came to pick occasionally.
Xie Yixiao has eaten a few and thinks they are quite good. There is some sourness in the sweetness, but not too sour. The sweetness and sourness are just right. It tastes very delicious. It is not like some peaches in later generations, which are just watery and not sweet.
Not sour and tasteless.
When Rong Ci saw her looking at the peach, he turned to her and asked, "Do you want to eat it?"
Xie Yixiao naturally nodded: "Eat."
She already had the reputation of "loving to pick flowers", so it didn't matter if she was a foodie anymore. They were going to be a couple in the future anyway, and no one knew what her temperament was, so she didn't want to hide it anymore.
Rong Ci jumped up and picked a few ripe ones for her. She wiped them with a handkerchief, handed one to him, wiped one herself, and took a bite on the red area. It was sweet and crunchy with some
Slightly acidic.
She ate so hard that her eyes narrowed, like a satisfied cat.
Rong Ci looked at her and then at the peach in his hand, feeling a little confused.
I thought, is it really that delicious?
There are many peach trees planted in Yunzhong Temple, and he even has one in his own yard. In the summer, the trees will bear fruit, and he has eaten them too.
eat.
He took a bite, and it tasted crisp, sweet and sour, as if it was indeed good.
He looked up at the peach tree and wondered if Xie Yu would jump up and beat him if he dug the peach tree away.
If I want to leave, what excuse do I need?
Could it be that Miss Xie likes to eat?
"How is it? Not bad, right?" Xie Yixiao asked him.
He nodded: "Not bad."
Xie Yi smiled and sighed: "I heard that there used to be several trees in Qingwei Garden, but now there is only one left, and the rest have been gathered in the yard next door."
Qingwei Garden is the garden of the Xie family.
In the past, the Xie family was very big. Apart from the main house, the surrounding area belonged to the Xie family. The Xie family also had a large population. It was composed of direct descendants and concubines. That is to say, it later branched out and 80% of the people left.
, leaving only these.
The Xie family sold out all the yards except the main house, and separated half of the garden and several yards from the main house, and gave them to the side branches to live in. The Xie family, which used to be full of flowers, has greatly shrunk, and the house is bigger than Chang Ninghou.
The house is even smaller.
Next door to Qingwei Garden, houses were also built early, and it was the branch of the Xie family that lived there.
In order to protect themselves in the past, the Xie family has been cautious for many years, not daring to come forward. The yard has become smaller, the clan has been dispersed, and they even dare not accept concubines for fear that the back house will be unstable, and they are afraid of fighting between legitimate concubines and concubines.
.
In the past, the Xie family did not have concubines. Mr. Xie and Xie Qingshan also had several brothers who were concubines.
Hearing this, Rong Ci raised his eyes and looked next door: "Is there one next door too?"
"Yes, there are several of them, but they don't like to eat them because they don't think they are sweet enough. Xie Yu and Yi Ling went to pick more."
Rong Ci thought to himself, the one in Qingwei Garden couldn't be dug, but the one next door should be OK? He would ask someone to ask, maybe it would be possible.
Although four peach trees have been transplanted, it is said that they are all sweet. Maybe she likes sour ones, so she might as well plant two sour ones.
Xie Yixiao ate a peach and talked to him for a while. Because she got his words and would arrange for someone to keep an eye on her, she felt much more at ease, so she couldn't help but eat another peach.
While she was eating, she suddenly remembered something, so she asked her again: "By the way, do you drink? If you don't drink, I will talk to them later to prevent them from trying to force you to drink."
"Don't worry, I'll tell you and they won't make things difficult for you."
Young Master Rong Jiu raised his eyes to look at her, and seeing the worry on her face, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Now, I am going to be engaged to you."
I'm about to get a wife, do I still have to abide by the rules?
